Thank for reviewing me!
***************************************************************************
Windu signals, and at strategic places around the arena there are sudden flashes of light as about one hundred Jedi switch on their lightsabers. The crowd suddenly flees scared half to death. Count Dooku's lips curl in slight amusement.
"Brave, but stupid, my old Jedi friend. You're impossibly outnumbered."
"I don't think so."
Dooku looks around the great theater. His smile grows.
Dooku signals. Thousands of Droids start to pour into all parts of the arena.
Mace Windu draws his lightsaber; Jango Fett draws his guns and fires at Mace Windu, who deflects the shots. Windu jumps into the arena, where the fight is going on. Droids fire at the Jedi, who deflect the bolts and cult down the Droids.
The Reek becomes spooked and bucks the riders off its back and stampedes around the arena, trampling Droids and Jedi that have moved into its path. Padme picks up a discarded pistol and joins the fight. Several Jedi run to the center of the arena and toss lightsabers to Obi-Wan and Anakin.
Among the crowd, Jedi cut down swaths of Geonosians and Droids. Obi-Wan and Anakin swing their lightsabers, cutting Droids in half, while Padme blasts away at the Droids.
She then sees a Picador passing by with it's Orray- run cart. She blasts him and hops on the Orray with Anakin getting in the cart. They stay on for about 10 minutes until the Orray is shot down; Padme falls off and crawls into the cart, which has fallen sideways, with Anakin.
Mace Windu fights fiercely with Jango Fett. Finally, the bounty hunter falls. His helmet goes flying, bouncing down the steps, tumbling and rolling, kicked here and there by random feet. The bounty hunter's body falls to the ground.
Windu runs to the center of the arena and fights back-to-back with Obi-Wan, as they swipe and mangle Droids.
Among the tiers (Rows.), Jedi are slowly being driven back. They have killed heaps of Geonosians and have knocked out piles of Droids, but more and more keep coming in. Individual Jedi are being cut down or blasted; the rest are retreating into the arena. They are all surrounded now. Anakin and Padme are brought into the middle with the others, ambushed.
From the encircling tiers above, Thousands of battle Droids level their weapons menacingly.
In the archducal box, Count Dooku lifts his hand. The Droids lower their weapons. The Count calls out to the Jedi.
"Master Windu! You have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the history archives of the Jedi Order; but now it is finished. Surrender - and your lives will be spared."
"We will not be hostages for you to barter with Dooku!"
"Then, I'm sorry, old friend."
The Droids raise their weapons. Count Dooku raises his hand to give the order to fire.
Padme looks up suddenly and yells, "Look!"
Above, six Gunships are descending fast through the open area in the arena ceiling. They land in a cluster around the handful of Jedi. Clone Troopers spill out and start firing at the Droids. There is a hell storm of laser fire that bounces off the laser shields created by the Gunships. Yoda appears at the door of one of the Gunships.
"Come hurry!"
Some of the surviving Jedi climb as the others do on the other ships. Obi- Wan, Anakin, Padme then climb on the same ship as the ships them zoom off.
Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme are at the open sides of the Gunship. Clones fire down at the Droids below. The Gunship slows, circling over a Droid gun- emplacement. It blasts it, but suddenly the Gunship is rocked by a near miss. It lurches violently.
"Look over there," yells Obi-Wan!
Through the other side of the Gunship, they see a Geonosian Speeder racing past with two robotic speeders zooming behind. In the first speeder it is an unmistakable figure of Dooku.
"It's Dooku! Shoot him now," yells Anakin.
"We're out of rockets sir," says the clone pilot.
"Follow him then!"
"We're going to some need help," yells Padme!
"There isn't any time! Anakin and I can handle this," yells Obi-Wan!
The Pilot does as he's ordered and follows Dooku. But without knowing Dooku signals his two robotic speeders to go behind and blast at them, causing Padme and two clones to fall out.
"Aaaah!" Padme's scream becomes faint as she falls farther from them. She hits the ground and roles down a sand hill motionless.
"Padme," yells Anakin!
Anakin stares down in horror as Padme lays motionless "Put the ship down!"
"No! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way. Follow that speeder!"
"Land this ship!"
"I can't fight Dooku alone! I need you! If we can capture him, we can end this war right now! We have a job to do!"
"I don't care! Put the ship down!"
"You will be expelled from the Jedi Order!"
"But I can't leave her!"
"Come to your senses! What do you think Padme would do if she were in your position?"
Anakin pauses for a minute and sighs saying, "She would do her duty."
"Follow that speeder!"
~Yoda's ship~
Yoda feels anger coming form Anakin and starts to worry.
"The Droid Army is at full retreat," says a Clone Captain.
"Well done Commander. Bring me a ship."
"Yes sir."
~At a Hanger where Dooku is~
Dooku turns as Obi-Wan and Anakin run in through the hanger doors. They draw their lightsabers.
"Your going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today Dooku," says Anakin sternly.
Obi-Wan then says, "We move in together - you slowly on the-"
"No, I'm taking him now!" Anakin then charges after Dooku.
"No, Anakin, no!"
Anakin charges across the open space at Dooku, who smiles faintly, watching him, come. Anakin raises his lightsaber. At the last moment, Count Dooku thrusts out his blue electricity from his hand, lifts Anakin up, and hurls him across the room, slamming him into the opposite wall. He slumps to the foot of the wall, semi-conscious. Dooku moves toward Obi-Wan.
"As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down." Dooku takes his electricity and strikes Obi-Wan, but he blocks it with his saber.
"I don't think so."
Obi-Wan lifts his lightsaber. Dooku turns on his lightsaber, shinning a deep red, as he and Obi-Wan start to circle each other. Obi-Wan comes in fast, swinging at Dooku's head. But Dooku parries the cut easily. As they fight, it quickly becomes clear that Dooku is the complete swordsman - elegant, graceful, classical - a master of the old style.
"Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem."
Dooku parries another cut.
"Surely you can do better?"
From rage, Obi-Wan strikes again but gets blocked by the swift Dooku.
~Padme~
After a few minutes Padme starts to awake slowly, feeling the sand stick to her wounds on her back, feeling pain aching her body from the fall and wounds. She sits up slowly.
"Are you all right?"
"Yes," she says getting up fully.
"We'd better get back to the Forward Command Center."
"No. No, gather what troops you can, we've got to get to that Hanger. Get a transport, hurry!"
"Right away!" The trooper and Padme run to get what she ordered.
~The Hanger~
SWISH! SLASH! SWOOSH! BLOCK!
The fight becomes endless for Obi-Wan and Dooku, but Dooku is the one winning.
Dooku increases the tempo of his attack. Obi-Wan is pushed to the limit to defend himself. Dooku presses. His lightsaber flashes.
Obi-Wan becomes wounded in the shoulder, then the thigh. He stumbles back falls. His lightsaber goes skittering across the floor.
Dooku raises his lightsaber. Obi-Wan looks up helplessly. Dooku's lightsaber flashes down on Obi-Wan, but then and clashes against - Anakin's lightsaber! Dooku and Anakin stare eye to eye.
"Brave of you boy, I would have thought you'd have learnt your lesson." Unknowing Obi-Wan reaches through the force for his lightsaber.
"I'm a slow learner."
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan throws him the lightsaber.
Anakin takes it, and then charges at Dooku. But after a few strikes Dooku takes out Obi-Wan's saber, so Anakin drops it to the grounding with his only. Anakin slices a power tube, causing the lights to blink to create a diversion. They both hold their lightsaber's up and attack each other, both blocking one another's strike. You'd think Anakin will win but, at the last moment, Dooku strikes, sending Anakin's arm, cut at the elbow, flying still gripping on his lightsaber. Dooku uses the force and pushes Anakin right next to Obi-Wan to fall.
Dooku turns off his lightsaber taking deep breathe from the fight.
Suddenly, the great doors slide open. Dooku hears a cane tapping with footsteps coming in- its Yoda!
"Master Yoda."
"Count Dooku," says Yoda bitterly.
"You have interfered with our affairs for the last time," Dooku raises his hand and pulls a large, metal, object, with the force, and brings it to fall upon Yoda. But Yoda drops his cane, and uses forces to move it aside. Dooku then takes another object and throws it at him, but Yoda pushes that away too. Dooku then takes hunks from the roof and brings it down on Yoda, but Yoda pushes it off.
"Powerful you have become Dooku. The dark side I sense in you."
"I have become more powerful than any Jedi, even you." Dooku points his fingertips and electricity shoots right out at Yoda, but Yoda takes his small hand and blocks it, and then throws it back, with then Dooku making it bounce off to shoot the roof.
"Much to learn, you still have," says Yoda.
"It is obvious that this contest can not be decided on by our knowledge of the force. But by our skills with a lightsaber." Dooku turns on his saber as Yoda does as well.
Count Dooku charges across the space at Yoda. He rains down blows upon the tiny figure. Yoda doesn't budge an inch. For the first part of the contest, he parries every cut and thrust that Dooku aims. Nothing the great swordsman tries gets through. His energy drains. His strokes become feebler, slower. Yoda attacks! He flies forward. Dooku is forced to retreat. Words are insufficient to describe the range and skill of Yoda's speed and swordplay. His lightsaber his is a humming blur of light.
Count Dooku's lightsaber is sent cartwheeling from his hand. He staggers back, gasping and spent, against the control panel. Yoda jumps onto Dooku's shoulders, and is about to drive the lightsaber into the top of the Count's head. Dooku raises his arms and knocks Yoda off his shoulders and then, with all his might, he uses the force to pull on one of the cranes in the hanger. It comes crashing down on Obi-Wan and Anakin. But in the blink of and eye, Yoda is under the crane, holding it up, using the force. Yoda closes his eyes and concentrates.
Anakin is unconscious, and Obi-Wan tries to get out from under the crane. The fallen crane trembles and starts to life. Behind it, the sound of the Sail Ship's engines is heard starting up.
Yoda concentrates harder. Slowly, the crane rises and lifts clear of Anakin and Obi-Wan and is thrown to the ground.
Padme's Transport arrives and she and other troopers walk out and see Dooku's ship start to zoom away. So they fire at it until they are out of its range.
Padme ran in wit the troopers behind seeing Yoda with his cane, and Obi-Wan and Anakin standing up. She Anakin's left arm is cut from the elbow down.
"Anakin!" She runs to him and throws her arms around him. Anakin can barely able to stand up but manages to hug her anyway. Padme hugs him tightly not wanting to ever let go. ***************************************************************************
~At Naboo~
Anakin walks with the bandaged up Padme with his new golden arm, and with Artoo and Threepio behind them. They make it inside with the awaiting handmaidens and Captain Typhoo.
"Padme!" yells Sabe hugging her friend dearly.
"Sabe." Padme hugs her back, Sabe then let's go.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. Nothing the healers couldn't fix," says Padme giving a small smile.
"Thank you Anakin for keeping her safe," says Sabe looking over at the Jedi behind Padme.
"You're welcome. Padme should I escort you to your room?"
"Yes you have to help me carry things in."
"What shall we do milady," cuts in Sabe.
"Take the day off. The battle has been long and put us to work, so I will rest after Anakin escorts me to my room."
Sabe raises an eyebrow at her, confused, "Yes milady."
Padme takes some of her luggage with Anakin doing the same and they both walk away. Padme opens the door and puts her luggage on her bed with Anakin doing the same. A silence linger around the room as Padme unpacks, no one not sure what to say. She then stops feeling a sharp pain in her back.
"Are you alright," asks Anakin at her side immediately.
"I'm fine, really it's ok." But then Anakin puts hand to her back and blood seeps through.
"You're bleeding." He lifts her shirt up seeing her wounds have bled through her bandages. HE opens one of then and inspects the wound.
"It's fine it's just from bending down, and such." Another awkward moment comes as he slowly pulls down her ripped shirt.
Anakin backs away and clears his throat, as Padme continues to pack.
"I'll have to leave as soon as possible for Corascant."
Padme looks at him, "You can leave tomorrow if you want if you need to rest first."
"No, that's alright. I should only really stay if there's something here worth staying for," he says hesitating.
Padme looks back at her luggage and unpacks again.
"Well, good-bye then." Anakin turns around with Threepio and starts walking down the hall.
"Anakin!" yells Padme running to him, she hugs him tightly. "Please don't leave, I can't bare to be without you, I love you too much." Anakin lets go slowly, and looks at her teary face. He wipes the two tears away with his thumbs.
"Marry me then."
"What?"
"Marry me. I vowed and to spend the rest of my life with you, and I meant it."
Padme looks down, this is a big decision; if she answers wrong it will stay with her for the rest of her life. She looks up again at his pleading eyes. She smiles, "Yes."
Anakin smiles, kisses her, and then swings her around happily, causing her to giggle.
~15 minutes later~
Anakin stands out at the hallway balcony with the priest, Threepio, and Artoo waiting for Padme's presence. Padme appears; she's wearing a flowing, white dress with dark gray designs sown all in it; and with long, veil sleeves, with some designs entrenched in it. Also she is wearing a beautiful, pale white, lace, veil, with pearls embedded all over in it. She takes her place next to Anakin and faces the priest. They listen to the priest reading some sections of the book while stealing glances at each other.
"Anakin Skywalker, do you take Padme Amidala as your wife? In sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
Anakin faces Padme with her doing the same; he takes her hand and slips a silver ring, with designs embedded in it. Padme looks at it and smiles brightly, as she then looks up at Anakin.
"I do," says Anakin with a smile.
"And Padme Amidala, do you take Anakin Skywalker as your husband? In sickness, and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do," she says with a smile still upon her face.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Anakin's lips touch Padme's softly, but then presses harder hungrily with Padme reacting the same way. They have their first kiss as husband and wife. ***************************************************************************
