The Kritch family, from the planet
Naboo is having a discussion. There is
a Sith no one knows about, except his apprentice. The man's name is Yodar P. Kritch that we're visiting at the
moment. He is one of the two Sith
alive...Yodar being the Master. All
Sith have a regular name and a Sith name. Yodar's Sith name is Darth Sidious. (All Sith members start out their Sith names with "Darth" and Sith are
of the Dark Side of the Force and are the Jedi's enemies.)
Yodar (Sidious) is waiting for his very
young apprentice, Darth Maul. Darth
Maul has just barely begun his training. (For the sake of discussion this episode will be the only one where I
refer to Yodar as both Sidious and Yodar...until something is discovered.) Yodar feels the approach of his dark
trainee. Maul rushes in.he knows well
not to accidentally anger his master, although he has only had 3 training
sessions so far, Sidious hinted it to him enough.
"Ah, good, my young apprentice. I was hoping you wouldn't forget our little engagement."
"Yes, master."
"I have called this special
meeting to discuss with you my plans for this ill-well galaxy...and mind you,
things will change, I guarantee it."
"Please continue this, Master."
"Patience my friend! All will be told in time. My time. I cannot afford to give it to you all at once...for certain reasons."
"You don't trust me?!"
"Silence! I am not done here yet. We will bring this galaxy to order and rule
with all the hate they will allow us. We must find a way to get at the Republic's center. And I will find one."
Maul says, "Well, that'll
be tough...considering there are new senator elections and none of the
candidates would be likely to agree with us."
Yodar Kritch laughs his
evil laugh. "So sure, are you? You will find that there are many
surprises...."
"Master, we must be
reasonable about this kind of thing. You know Palpatine's going to win. He has so much public support...He'd never side with us."
Darth Sidious smiled
evilly. "No, no, these plans have nothing
to do with the senate election.... but the entire galaxy itself." (Again, that evil laugh.) "I promise you, my young apprentice, we will
soon be on top of the galaxy and freedom will be crushed. Maw hah hah!"
Naboo is going to have a
Senator's election. This election is
the most important in Republic history. Who is elected and what they do to the Sith if they find them is crucial
not only to Naboo, but also to the Republic and to the galaxy itself.
Ten
years previous to the main story of Anuvuin Mr. Orange Idiot had had a son
named Idiotic Idiot. Eight years
before, Stu Stupid had a son named Magg Stupid. Remember, Stu Stupid is second in command of the Maurders. Anyway, ten years ago, when Idiotic was
born, the time was exactly in-between Jedi Stories and Anuvuin. Now, Rhun Brun and the following event
happened in the same year. The Maurders
are discussing their new plan. Mr.
Orange Idiot, still the head leader of the Maurders, addresses his bunch.
"It is time
to act on a new plan. We will get
Dyrnwyn back eventually…we need it to carry out our plans. We only have one attempt for this. According to Stu's last outing, the Republic
Queen, Queen Sally, is going to be giving birth very shortly. What I purpose
that we do is get Dyrnwyn and finally open the doorway…and leave the royal
child in the other dimension. This will be our experiment. But if we're going
to do it, it must be as soon as the child is born or switching babies will
never work because the parents would recognize the change. This will also gain us a foothold in taking
the galaxy over for ourselves. All
right, we should pack up and travel to Coruscant immediately to assure that
we'll be there before the child is born. Let us be off now!"
So off the Maurders go, to Coruscant. Now, to the royal family. John Jedi was still alive, and so was his
wife Catherine. John had decided that
he would retire from being King of the Republic (though people still called him
King. It was just that he was giving
away his duties) and had passed the job onto his son, Tim Jedi. Tim had grown up and married Sally, Locon's
daughter, since we last left him. Sally
was pregnant and was due at anytime. She was having twins, though they (Tim
& Sally & the doctor) kept it from everyone else. They didn't want all the publicity. Time adjustment notice: instead of having the time be 20 years after
Jedi Stories when Anakin's born, as was originally planned, we'll so-pone it to
23 years so that Tim can be 18 instead of 15 when he has children. And we're making this the initial start of
Anuvuin. It'll just have to cover more
years, but that's okay. Tim was
really excited about this, and so was the Republic. Anyway, Tim looks at his
wife, lovingly. They are in the
Republic Hospital on Coruscant because she had started to go into contractions.
"How are you doing?" he asks her.
"All right,
I guess," responds Sally. "But I'm
tired already!"
Tim
smiled.
The doctor
comes in and says, "let's see how things are looking under there."
He moves
towards Sally and examines her suing advanced, safe equipment.
"How far is
she from delivery, would you say, doctor?" inquires Tim. "
Well," said
the doctor after examining Sally a little, "I would say…between 1 and 3
hours…unless she starts having really bad contractions sooner than I expect."
Sally wants to cry and Tim nods. The Maurders are stupid and forget how to
get to Coruscant, which delays them, an hour (they finally remember).
Mr. Orange
Idiot, with Idiotic Idiot sitting next to him on the ship floor, says, "I
thought this was the right way…but maybe we're uh heading in the wrong
direction."
Stu says, "Oh yeah, Coruscant is the Republic
capital. We should turn around."
"We're wasting time! Turn her around immediately!" orders Mr.
Orange Idiot.
So they do. The Maurders are now 15 minutes away when Sally says,
"Tim…call
the doctor…I think it's time!"
So the doctor rushes in and, after about 5
minutes, the doctor is ordering her to push.
"Come on, I
see a head…. it's a girl!"
Tim's smile
kind of fades. This was the first daughter born to the Royal family…he didn't
know how his father would take it, and he didn't particularly like it, but he
accepted it.
Sally says,
"Do you have any names, Tim? I have a perfect a perfect middle one. I just
can't seem to find a first name, though."
Tim thinks…he had thought over boy names, but
he was not prepared for this.
"How about
Samantha?"
Sally
smiles, "I like it, I like it a lot! My
middle name for the child is Amidala."
Now, both Tim and Sally know that there is
another one on the way, but it doesn't appear to be anytime too soon (within
the next 5 minutes.)
The doctor
says, handing the baby to Tim, "I want to check your wife over again so I can
determine how soon the next one will come. Your wife appears, even though she's still in labor, that she will not
have the other one for a few more minutes. Everything looks fine in there for the second child. I'm getting a nurse in here to take a look
at your first one."
A nurse comes and took Samantha away while,
minutes later; Sally was in the process of having the other one as the Maurders
entered Coruscant Hospital….
Sally was in the process of having the other one as the Maurders entered Coruscant Hospital…The Maurders had split up, one half went to get the Republic heir while the other half went to the Republic Palace after Dyrnwyn.
Anyway,
the Maurders reached the birthing room just as the doctor says, "Here it
comes."
With that,
out pops the second one. It was
identical to the first, so the doctor knew it was a girl.
"Well,
it's a girl."
This
really put Tim in a bad mood. He felt
that he had failed; yet he was glad to be a father.
"How
about Minka Ann Jedi," suggests Sally.
Tim says, "That sounds good!"
No one noticed the Maurders standing in the
doorway, and they didn't know about Samantha. Another nurse comes in and disappears down the hall with Baby Minka. The Maurders follow. No one notices this, either. Tim and the doctor are interested in how
Sally feels. NO one else is in the
halls and the Maurders attack the nurse, grab Minka, and make a run for it.
They had knocked the nurse unconscious…she didn't expect the attack, so she was
too shocked to scream. They escaped to
their ship and now it's the Attempt at capturing Dyrnwyn Group. The Second half of the Maurders went to the
Republic Palace. They knew where Dyrnwyn was, so they headed straight for the
room. As they turned one corner and
were within 2 feet of the room, they ran face to face with a group of Guards.
They tried to run past them, into the room, but the guards stopped them before
they got there.
The
Republic Officials could guess what the Maurders were after, so one Republic
official says, "You're after Dyrnwyn, aren't you?"
"Yes, it belongs to us! We found it," replies one.
But
more Republic guars join the others and now have cornered the Maurders. Locon, the Supreme Chancellor, is among the
Republic members present.
"Now,
we'll take care of this nice and easy and no one will get hurt. Go back to your ships, Maurders, and be gone
of Coruscant!"
So, the Maurders, outnumbered and
outweaponed, have no other option tout to do as Locon Spellbinder said. Now they know that their experiment won't
work…they only hope the other Maurders accomplished their goal when the
Maurders met back up with each other on Anuvuin.
Stu,
who was in charge of the raid on Dyrnwyn says, "We didn't get the sword. Republic guards caught us…"
Mr.
Orange Idiot nodded.
"All
right, we'll get the sword in the future. All hiss means is that we can't take Minka, that's the name she was
given, to the other dimension, she'll have to be a slave and personal servant
to us on Maurders Base (the planet originally called that, not Anuvuin). We can't have here leave the planet and it
must not be Anuvuin in case people of the Republic go there for whatever
reason. Anuvuin is our capital:"
So that was that, and that is what
happened. Soon after the attack on the
other nurse, the first one comes back with Samantha.
"She is
a healthy baby of 6 pounds. I didn't
see the other one."
"The
other nurse took her, why don't you go down the hall and see here," answer the
doctor.
After
giving Samantha to her mother, she does just that. This is where the other nurse is found to be unconscious. As soon as the first nurse sees this, she
gives out a scream. The doctor and Tim
Jedi run to her. It doesn't take them
long to figure out she was attacked by someone and that the other baby was
kidnapped. Time is mad. The Royal couple never told anyone that they
had had twins, but the Maurders knew when news of the birth spread thought the
galaxy. They knew because, of course,
they had the other one.
"We
missed the heir," says Mr. Orange Idiot. "But we have the other."
Of course this distressed the Maurders. Minka is also a healthy baby of 6 pounds.
Now, Tim Jedi, already mad from the previous
event, desperately tries to find her. Tim finally gives up his search, as no one can provide any useful
information as to what could have happened. Tim discusses this with his wife.
"Sally, dear, I'm worried about
Samantha. If they got Minka, obviously
they thought she was the heir and didn't know about Samantha. What's to stop whoever kidnapped Minka from
taking Samantha as soon as they find out about her. That ought to be soon, seeing how fast her birth has spread
around Coruscant."
Sally looked at her husband.
"There might be
something we can do…"
Tim looks at her
for any suggestions, but finds one himself. Tim has a look on his face…it's really hard for him to say that.
"There is a
way…this is going to be hard…it's hard to say it, but I have a friend on
Naboo. He could take care of Samantha
until she is old enough and it is safe enough to know whom she is to come back. His name is Dalben…"
Tim looks to Sally for a reaction.
She says, "It
would be hard, but it's a good plan. I will
not have my other child taken from me! She would be safe and would be raised well. Let's do it!"
Tim says, "But what will we tell the people?"
"Tell them that we sent her to be well
educated and brought up in a normal family, that we want what's best for our
daughter."
So, that is what they did. Samantha was sent to Naboo to be raised by
Dalben. It was agreed that Dalben would
tell no one about her true identity and that she would be called by her middle
name, Amidala. Now, we'll come back to
the Republic and things later, but now let us go to the Anchorhead
establishment on Tatooine. Yes, Lowdun
is still alive. Besides Brax S. and
Summoner, he and Mary also had a daughter named Ellen. Ellen grew up and became a Jedi, much to her
father's dislike. (That story will be
later.) She met and married a man named
Brax Corta, also a Jedi. The couple now
lives on Clay Hill, the planet the Corta's are from. It's Ellen's turn to have a baby now. It comes, and it is a boy. Brax C. (remember there are two Brax's in the story, so don't get
confused! Brax Corta and Brax
Skywalker.
Brax C. is Frey's
son, and Brax S. is Lowdun's son.) Says, "Well, what do you think we ought to
name it?"
Ellen thinks a little, then finally says,
"How about Arawn Lloyd Corta?"
"That's a good name."
Now, back to the Kritch's. This time, Yodar
P. Kritch is on Wolly with his father. Yodar is getting extremely annoyed with how his father handles
everything.
"I could do so
much better!" he thinks.
At the moment, Poopsie is meditating. Even dark Jedi get visions. Poopsie is having one now. In this vision he sees an extremely powerful
man, a Sith dressed in black, but then Poopsie gets confused because he doesn't
appear to be a Sith. The man kills what
Poopsie can sense is a Kritch and that the Dark Side is defeated, the Force
balanced forever, and no more Sith ever again. This haunts Poopsie!
"I'll never train anyone like that, only the
Kritch family will become Sith. That
man, the murderer of us all, was not a Kritch. This will guard against that from happening. We must be very careful…I'm glad I'm taking this thing very
slowly, one step at a time."
Then, he looked at his watch.
He walks down a
giant hallway as he says to himself, "I heard the Corta family still remains on
Clay Hill…. I heard that last week. It's time they pay! They will
die! Maw haw haw!"
But Yodar had heard this, not what Poopsie
had aid previously, just what he had said wile going down the hall. Of course Poopsie was unaware of this.
As soon as
Poopsie was out of hearing range, Yodar says, "Yeah, that's what you
think. You're going to die!"
Yodar did not understand Poopsie's hatred
toward the Corta family. Yodar followed
his father in his ship (Poopsie had gone on his own) to Clay Hill. Once there, Poopsie, (unaware of his son's
presence because he was so into being evil and killing the Corta's.) fueled up
h is weapons and was preparing for his attack on the Corta family. He had found out exactly where they lived
and planned on shooting them down in his ship from the air. He would fire on all their buildings,
charring them so that everyone there would die. He was just a second away from firing when ship fire from behind
him came towards his ship. Poopsie had
no shields up because he wanted all the ship's power to go towards his weapons
and he had not expected to be attacked. A voice came over his speakers, it was Yodar's!
"Now you're finally going to die!"
Poopsie had had a second to realize this had
been his son's intent, for a long time, to lead the Sith.
"I won't even get to warn him. (Sigh) "He'll never know about my vision or
his defeat will result in this. The
ambitious boy!"
And Poopsie's ship blew up…and Poopsie died.
!
Ellen
looked up as the loud explosion of the ship could be heard above the sound of
her new baby, Arawn, crying. She stared
at her husband. Brax heard it, too.
"Sounds like
trouble," he said.
"That's an understatement, dear."
Ellen was now visibly worried.
Brax says, "I
don't know what that was, but…he rises to go look out a window. "That's a Kritch ship…I'm going to go check
it out. It looks like it was
destroyed…some of the ruble may have gotten on our beloved garden."
As he prepared himself to leave, Ellen says,
"Wait, don't…it might be dangerous. I'm
coming with you."
She glanced down
at Baby Arawn, unsure of what to do next.
Brax says, "ah, don't worry about him. He'll be all right…just put him in the
crib."
So, that is
exactly what Ellen does. Meanwhile,
Yodar has landed his ship and is now heading towards the Corta settlement. HE wants to make sure that no one was hurt. (He does have some compassion towards
others at this time.) As he opens the
door, he finds that everyone is gone, but then he hears a baby crying. Yodar goes over to it and removes it from
the crib. Yodar can read the name on
its birth certificate. Yodar assumes it
to be orphaned and takes it with him…to Coruscant, to the orphanage there. And that is how it was done. Of course when Ellen and Brax got back to
the house, they found their son missing. They vowed that they would one day get their hands on a child, even if
they had to adopt one someday. Now, as
was promised, here is the argument between Lowdun and Ellen. This took place before she married
Brax.
One day, in those
years when people try to pressure young people into telling them what they want
to do when they get older, Ellen said, "I want to become a Jedi Knight. Several of my friends at school are studying
it…"
Lowdun almost drops the plate he's
washing.
"Ellen, I don't
want you becoming a Jedi Knight."
"Why not,
father. They say I have the ability."
Lowdun sighed. "It's just that…it's hard to explain…"
"By the way, I'm marrying a Jedi, Brax
Corta."
Even though it was against his wishes, he
knew it was useless to carry the conversation any further.
Lowdun thought, "at least the child with the
strongest force is not interested in becoming a Jedi (Summoner). And Brax Skywalker had less of a Force than
did either of his other siblings. So
far, Ellen was the only one interested in the Jedi. Lowdun would keep close tabs on his descendant's force levels, he
knew. Anyway, as you know from the last
episode, Ellen and Brax Corta did get married. Of course this got Lowdun to thinking about something Frey once
said: that their descendants may marry.
"Well, it
happened," thought Lowdun.
Oh yes, one thing
I forgot to mention with the Kritch's" just after Yodar Kritch killed his
father, he left Wolly for Naboo in hopes that no one would associate him with
the Kritch family. He now went by his
middle name. Now, for the Naboo
elections. You see, the Senate seat was
open for the pretty little planet of Naboo. The past senator had resigned due to financial problems at home. But in reality, the financial problems were
created by Darth Sidious…he had used mind control with the top people that
handled the old Senator's accounts…. although there were many people qualified
to run, there was one man in particular that was favored to win….Palpatine
dismounts the bantha he is riding and prepares for the election campaign. Palpatine, over-confident in the fact that he
will be elected, as he is almost always over-confident. He gives a quick smile t the people of Naboo,
before starting his long speech.
He clears his
throat to address the audience, "People of the esteemed planet of Naboo, I
have lived with you for some time now. I believe that this planet needs a Senator that has the ability to
bring the proper attention that his planets needs in the Senate. Unfortunately, our former Senator could not
do that, and thus, the people have suffered. We could use some more ships, supplies, and other important things
that guarantee that our beloved planet meets it's full potential. I believe I would be the perfect candidate.
Thank you for your attention."
The other candidates also spoke, but no one
seemed to have the fire that Palpated showed. Darth Maul was in the audience, attending the speeches.
"How can Darth Sidious hope to influence
him (Palpatine)? There's no doubt, the people
love him...maybe, if I could meet with Sidious, we might be able to influence
the crowd differently. That Kathy Jones
candidate seems to be a person easy to control, to influence...
Palpatine stepped back to hear the other
candidates speak. The elections would be held the following day. A man by the name Sampson QuiQue was
competing with Palpatine. He was also
looking to be favored, but Palpatine was more so. After Sampson was done with his speech, he went around, gloating
at Palpatine. The people received
Sampson well. The elections were now
even between the two, or so it looked from the crowd. Sampson had really given all he could in his
speeches. Sampson had his own reasons
for being elected. He could care less
about the people. Money was all that he
loved. He hoped to turn all the water
spots on Naboo to tourist attraction sights...he knew he could make great
profit from this. Anyway, Darth Maul
paged Sidious (Sidious was nowhere to be seen, but had assured Maul that he
would be there).
"Master,
there's a problem. Palpatine looks
like he'll be elected, and if so, we don't stand a chance. Maybe we should make sure someone like Kathy
Jones gets elected."
"NO, that is not my concern. My concern is Sampson QuiQue...he may win. Palpatine must win, Maul, it is the only
way."
With that, he cut
off Maul, leaving him very confused.
"How does he think we could influence
PALPATINE, of all people.
Darth Maul only shrugged and hoped that
Sidious knew what he was doing. Now,
still on the Planet of Naboo, we will go to the house of Dalben. Dalben had gone to see the campaigns....
there were reminders everywhere of the upcoming election. Even though Sampson QuiQue showed promise,
Dalben thought Palpatine would still win. Dalben went home to see how Baby Amidala was doing. She looked fine, so he went to his office to
learn more about the gwythaints. Dalben
is an older, but wise citizen of Naboo. He is always reading something new. Right now, he is specializing on the area of creatures. The gwythaints are a goon-like creature that
has a similar language to Basic, only backwards. They are great creatures that spy for the Republic...it's hard t
find such a loyal creature (besides Wookiees)...there are not that many of
them. Dalben was so intrigued by them
that he was hoping to become a gwythaint expert, and to oned day be able to
communicate with them. Yes, if there
was one thing Dalben loved, it was creatures. Now, to the Gungans (still
on Naboo). A very young Gungan named
Jar Jar Binks is being lead to their leader, Boss Nass.
Boss Nass says, "JarJar Binks, mesa
thinks you're clumsy. You broke
the entryway...you clumsy for the last time. Yousa being brandished. Don't come back, or wesa going to kill yousa. Take him away."
Jar Jar hung his head, "aw...."
.
Let's
go to the actual elections. Palpatine
or QuiQue? It is now the next day, as
you may have guessed. Palpatine waits
patiently for the results of the election as people begin pouring in and out of
the palace of Naboo. The Ruler of Naboo
is always elected, but whoever it is still carries the title of King or Queen,
and they do not pass down the throne to their children, it is all
election. Anyway, the election was
being held in the King/Queen Palace. A
kind of old king happened to be the elected ruler at this time. Signs that read, "Vote for Palpatine" were
all over the place." QuiQue tried to
top him. But, after everyone was done
voting, everyone waited in anticipation for the results.
The king
called up the top 3 candidates (the third one is Kathy Jones), as it was always
done, took the special Senator's stick, as had also become a tradition, and
said, "Well, it was a close call. All
of the 3 candidates up here would have done a fine job, and I wish they could
all be Senator, but there's only room for one."
So, he raised the stick and prepared to throw
it. He threw it…. and Palpatine caught
it.
"He won by one vote, beating Sampson QuiQue."
The king said this with a little smile. Palpatine smiled, also.
"Here is Senator Palpatine."
After this little ceremony, Palpatine was the
heard of a receiving line.
As Darth
Maul was passing, Palpatine turned to him and whispered, "told you things would
work out."
At that moment, Darth Maul knew something; he
understood completely, walking away much relieved. Senator Palpatine began acting as Senator right away, making
frequent visits to Coruscant. Now,
between Rhun's birth to now has been over a period of time, a year. And Shmi is again pregnant. It turns out to be another boy.
"What
should we name him?"
Summoner says, "I'm not good with names, you
think up one."
So Shmi
does, after a little while, she says, "How about Anakin Owen Skywalker?"
"I don't like the name Anakin. How about "Owen Anakin Skywalker?"
"Fine," says Shmi.
The
following episodes will take place over a period of four years. I'll let you know when this period of 4
years ends. All part one of Anuvuin is
doing is setting the story up for the second part. But that's what I've been doing all along: setting the story up
for more.
Never
mind, that's going to have to take place at the very end of Part 1. Instead, we'll go to the Maurders. The last we left them, they just failed in
their plans with the Republic heir…and now, a few years later, they have
something new. It was Stu's idea.
Stu
comes to Mr. Orange Idiot and says, "Master, I have another idea. We barely have many planets in our
system…what if we were to go after another planet?"
Mr. Orange Idiot raises his eyebrows.
"Oh
yeah, what is it…"
"Well, sir Tatooine's close to our sector…I
was wondering if we could maybe purchase it. Who wants it anyway…it's mostly wasteland."
"Then why would we want it?"
"To add another planet to our list…you know,
it's popular for the scum of the galaxy…. a lot of smugglers and pilots can be
found there. It would be good business
for us. And there's a new kind of sport
that I would like to bring to Tatooine: pod racing. All the canyons and
rock formations would make up the perfect place for such a thing. And there is much gambling involved…"
"I see your point, Stu. I will consider it."
A year later, Mr. Orange Idiot has agreed to
purchase the planet from the Republic. Supreme Chancellor Locon Spellbinder steps down from office that same
year, and a new Supreme Chancellor is elected, Chancellor Valorum. You had to be in the Senate at least 9 years
before you could even be nominated for Supreme Chancellor. The Senate agreed to grant the Maurders
Tatooine for a dear price. Locon
decided the pressures of being Supreme Chancellor were too much for him. Shortly after the purchase of Tatooine (all
residents living there were given a fair warning), a Hutt named Jabba the Hutt
became the Maurder in charge of running things on Tatooine. So, Jabba created a Palace for himself
there, complete with dancing girls. Jabba was strange about that…he absolutely loved them! Jabba's top person was someone named Bib
Fortuna. Pod racing was introduced to
Tatooine, and was an instant success. Pod racing is very fast, and very dangerous. Humans cannot do it…or at least no human yet has been able
to. Other species can do it due to
special organs and things. And with the
Pod racing came two other things to Tatooine: gambling and slavery. New shops
opened up in the major spaceports, and demand for slaves grew. The Republic now no longer ruled Tatooine,
thus there were no anti-slavery laws. This planet was one of the very few that had slavery. Now, as you might have guessed, this has
affected a certain family: the
Skywalker's. When news of this reached
them, they could really do nothing. Lowdun and Mary still lived in Anchorhead. Summoner, Shmi, Rhun, and Owen lived in a neighboring homestead
to Summoner's parents. Brax however,
opted not to stay on Tatooine, and of course Ellen does not live there. A lot of creatures were attracted to
Tatooine, including one large blue-bug like flying thing named Watto. He came to Tatooine for the purpose of
becoming a slaver, and that is just what he did. You'll learn more abut him later, don't worry. For the next episode, we'll go to a
pilot/mechanic named Ric Olie.
Until next time!
