After a couple more dances Amidala finally found the chance to ask to be excused. She walks towards the balcony where Anakin is standing. He turns around to see who it is and suddenly his expression changes. Sprinting towards her he hugs Amidala and spins her around. When Amidala looks up over his shoulders she sees a figure running away from them. Anakin falls to his knees and collapses into Amidala's arms. She looks down at him and sees a stab wound in his back and blood trickling from it. She now know another attempt had been made at her life.


Amidala stands by the medic room staring through the glass that separates her and Anakin. The injury that Anakin suffered is not that severe but it will take him at least the night to recover. He has put himself in a healing trance or else it would have taken longer. Amidala's is so relieved to hear that he would be o.k. Bail tried to persuade her to go to sleep but she won't leave Anakin. Not now. She couldn't imagine a world without Anakin. It is not till the assassination attempt that Amidala knows how much Anakin means to her. There is a gentle tap on her shoulder; she spins around to see another man dressed in Jedi robes.
"Your majesty, I am the Jedi knight sent to look after you for now, my name is Nayr" The Jedi bows his head
"But I think I am fine Sir knight, U'Loc's protection would be enough" the Queen replies sincerely.
The Jedi now has the most confused look on his face. "I am sorry, who, your Majesty? I was under the impression that Anakin was the only Jedi sent here to protect you."
"Oh no U'Loc was sent here after Obi-Wan left"
The Jedi's face blackened. "I am sure that I have not mistaken your Majesty, can you please tell me where I can use a com-link to send the council a message?"
"Sure right this way, Sabe will show you where to go."
"No your majesty you have to come along, I am not going to leave you unattended." Jedi Knight Nayr mutters under his breath, "I have a bad feeling about this."

When Amidala and Jedi Nayr reaches the communication room U'Loc is already there, waiting for them. "Your Majesty, what are you doing here? I see with Jedi Nayr also." U'Loc flashed one of his usual smile, but this one is colder and more devious looking.
"Your Majesty, go get more back up." Jedi Nayr orders, then igniting his lightsaber. The yellow blade came to life immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am Anakin's friend, do you honestly some Jedi that just came telling you to send for guards to lock me away. Who knows the Jedi in front of you could be a Sith in disguise." U'Loc replies, his tone is calm and convincing.
"You have to thrust me your Majesty, Obi-Wan was called back because a Jedi master was slain by his own padawan back at the temple." Jedi Nayr explains, "and something tells me that he was your master right U'Loc?"
Amidala, is beyond confused, who should she trust? U'Loc is not like that, right?
"GO!" Jedi Nayr force pushes her out of the room and shut the door behind him. The sound of lightsabers clashing could be heard coming from the room. Amidala stumbles onto her feet and ran down the hallway looking for help. She didn't stop running until she hit something, it was Obi-Wan!

"Where is U'Loc??" Obi-Wan asks.
"In the communications room with Jedi Nayr." Amidala quivers back.
"You have to go tell the rest of the council to join me in the communication room." Obi-wan orders.
"The council is here?" replies Amidala, 'this is a big deal' Amidala thinks to herself.
"Yes, most of the council is here, and you Majesty you have no idea how big a deal this is." Obi-wan finishes and runs towards the communication room where the battle seem to have died down. "Please don't let me be too late," Obi-wan mutters under his breath. He dials the code and the door swishes open. There lay Jedi Nayr on the ground, most likely dead. U'Loc is sitting in the chair with his arms folded in front of his chest. "Master Kenobi, how nice to see you." U'Loc sarcastically askes. Obi-wan awakens his lightsaber. U'Loc shakes his head "I wouldn't do that if I were you, maybe you should wait for the rest of the council so that we can make this fight fair." His eyes glows with mischief.
Not long after that sentence the room is flooded with Jedi Masters with Mace Windu leading the way. "U'Loc I suggest you give yourself up peacefully and we will not harm you" Master Windu ordered.
"And how are you suppose to do that? With your lightsabers?" U'Loc teases.
All the Masters ignite their lightsabers at once. U'Loc giggles and raises up his hand and clenches it into a fist as if he is crushing something. Immediately all of the lightsabers deactivates. All the Masters frantically trying to start their lightsabers again but it just won't work. Obi-wan took apart his lightsaber and to his surprise, he found that the crystal in his lightsaber was crushed into pure powder.
"You are the Chosen One of the dark side." Mace Windu mumbles in disbelieve.
"Ha aha ah ha. I am the prince of dark side, how nice to meet you all." U'Loc floats off his chair and flies to position himself to be in the center of the room. "I was discovered when I was a baby by a priest of the dark side. Knowing that he cannot protect me from you lightsabers he decide to hide me from you guys before I am strong enough to defend myself." He smiled evilly, ", and what is the last place you will look for me? The Jedi Temple"
"Well it is better late than never to find out about you." Yaddle snarled. He picked up a few chairs with the force and sends it flying towards U'Loc. The chairs bounces harmlessly off of the force shield U'Loc created around himself. "That was a bad mistake." U'Loc screamed. An electricity ball gathered in his hand and he threw it at Yaddle with deadly a force and accuracy. Mace Windu reached out with the force to slow it down and Yaddle dodged it on time. The energy ball blasted through the wall and set the wall on fire.
