Anuvuin: episode #34
Battle Plans and Ouch Time
Previously: Palpatine again talked to Amidala. He displays his over confidence that he will
be elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Palpatine promises to bring back the glory of the Republic and to end
corruption. Amidala decides to go back,
which she tells Palpatine. Meanwhile,
Anakin was brought before the Jedi Council…and they agreed that the Force was very
strong in him. Qui-Gon tried to get him
trained, but the Council doesn't approve.
"We will decides
Skywalker's fate later. Now is not the
time. Queen Amidala is returned to her planet, which may draw out this
mysterious attacker. The Senate has
chosen to vote for a new Supreme chancellor."
Qui-Gon knew better than to argue with the
Council any further. They all leave to meet back up with the queen. They must still protect her.
So,
Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Amidala, R2-D2, Captain Panaka, Ric Olie, and all the
others get back on the ship to Naboo. Darth Sidious makes contact to Darth Maul, Nute Gunray, and Rune
Haako. (Darth Maul went to Naboo
immediately after his fight with Qui-Gon).
Sidious says,
"Queen Amidala is on her way back to Naboo. Kill her…we have no more further need of her. Kill them all."
Darth Sidious cuts the transmission.
While they're on
the way back, Jar Jar says, "Wesa Gungans are mighty warriors. Wesa have a
grand army."
Padmé turns to Jar Jar, "Do you think they'd
help us in our fight against the Trade Federation?"
Jar Jar nods.
After they land on Naboo, Padmé says, "Jar
Jar says that they have a grand army…we need their help in taking back what's
ours."
Jar Jar left to
find that they had left their city and had gone to the hiding place. Jar Jar leads them there. Boss Nass was sitting high up as the group
approached.
Queen Amidala
steps forward and says, "We need your help. I am Queen Amidala of the Naboo."
Boss Nass stares at her. "Youasa think you have bigger heads than
ours. Yousa brought the
mechanics."
Padmé steps
forward.
"I am Queen Amidala…this
is my loyal body guard and protection. I'm sorry for my deception, but it was necessary."
Anakin looks at
Qui-Gon with a weird look on his face. This was a total surprise to him. However, Qui-Gon had suspected this ever since they left Naboo. Amidala was Amidala whenever Padmé wasn't
mentioned. (In other words she was
Amidala in the Senate and with the talks with Palpatine. When they escaped form Naboo, Mrs. Solo was
disguised as Amidala. This is the
reason Mrs. Solo, as Queen Amidala, could not talk to Palpatine right after
their landing on Coruscant.)
"I ask you to help us in our struggle…no I beg
you to help us."
She kneels and so does everyone else. Boss Nass bursts out laughing again, "Youso
no think you are greater than us. Maybe
we can be friends."
Then Amidala moved in to discuss the Battle
Plan.
"Artoo?" she
says.
He displays an image of the Naboo Palace
through his message light.
Then her recorded
voice says, "Captain Panaka and I must enter her and get to the Viceroy. The battle outside is a distraction. The
real battle will take place inside the palace."
Then she
continues live, "The Gungans will provide the distraction."
Qui-Gon says, "It
is a well conceived plan, although there is a great possibility that many
Gungans lives will be lost."
Boss Nass says, "Wesa ready to do our part."
Obi-Wan adds, "and if one Viceroy escapes, he
may bring back an entire new droid army."
"That is why we
must not fail to capture the Viceroy…everything depends on it. As for the Gungans…I've thought of
that. If some of our pilots were to
knock out the droid ship, then all the droids will be useless," Amidala says.
Qui-Gon says, "Yes, but there is a
possibility that the ship's weapons will not penetrate the shields."
"Yes, it is a risk, but one we must take,"
Amidala says.
Boss Nass says to Jar Jar, "For bringing the
Gungans and the Naboo together, I'm going to make you the grand bombard
general."
The Gungans go off in formation in
preparation for battle.
Nute Gunray and
Rune Haako make contact with Darth Sidious, "There's a huge army made up of
natives headed this way."
Sidious replies with, "She's more foolish
than I thought. Wipe the m out, all of
them."
They send a whole bunch of droid transports
to meet the advancing Gungan army. The Gungans put up a shield. The transports
open up as huge rows of battle droids open out and down. They are all activated at the same time and
reach for their weapons and do a right face together, resembling a marching
band. The advance forward with their weapons aimed at the Gungans.
"Oh-ow, Ouch time," says Jar Jar.
Meanwhile the
others make their way towards the palace.
Until next time!
