They were led through the forest to a place where few Nubians ever tread, The Gungan's Sacred Place, surrounded by a small escort of Gungans on kaadus. Once the entourage passed by some old ruin gates, they could see Gungans of all ages hiding between the trees. Captain Tarpals guided the group toward the grove where his leaders waited.
Boss Nass, the high ruler of the amphibious beings, noticed the humans immediately and began, "Whos thisen hissen?"
"Desa da Naboo Biguns. Come to speak with ussen," Tarpals explained.
Incredulously, the large Gungan groaned, "Wesa no liken da Naboo."
The Queen stepped forward to speak, "I am Queen Amidala of the Naboo, we have come before you in peace, to ." She was not able to finish as Padmé stepped in front and cut her off.
"I am Queen Amidala of the Naboo, this is my decoy, my loyal bodyguard. I am sorry for my deception but it was necessary, you understand, to protect myself. In the past, we have not always agreed, but we have lived in peace for some time. Now our world has been threatened, and our two societies are endangered. I am here to ask for your help, no, I beg for your help." Padmé knelt down in front of the ruling group and her entourage followed, including the Jedi. They had given each other knowing glances as the real Queen revealed herself, and complied with her actions to gain their trust. She added, "I am your humble servant."
Anticipation caused most of the Nubians to hold their breath as they waited for the chief's reaction. Finally the round being laughed, "You no tinkin yousa greater den da Gungans? Mesa like dis. Mesa tinkin wesa bein friends." A smile spread across the Queen's face and the rest of her party showed similar sighs of joy.
As soon as the new alliance had been formed, both sides quickly set things in motion to oppose the occupation. Leaders from Nubian resistance movements were sent messages to plan the upcoming battle. The Gungans gathered their generals and advisors to begin working on their own strategies. A group waited at the edge of the forest in anticipation of the Resistance leaders' arrival.
Qui-Gon, Anakin and Padmé were standing by a speeder going over layouts of the Capitol City, Theed, when they heard Obi-Wan's excited call, "They're here."
Padmé, turned to regard the youth running up to meet them, "Good they made it." Turning back to the group, she noticed Boss Nass stride up to join them. Once everyone was gather, she briefly described her plan. "What do you think Master Jedi?" She concluded.
Qui-Gon thought for a moment and then announced, "It is a well conceived plan. However, there's great risk. The weapons on your fighters may not penetrate the shields on the control ship."
Anakin chimed in, "And there's an even bigger danger. If the Viceroy escapes, Your Highness, he will return with another droid army."
"That is why we must not fail to get to the Viceroy. Everything depends on it," Padmé countered. The group disbanded to make their final preparations.
**
Nute Gunray and his advisors walked behind a communication droid. Darth Maul walked beside them.
The image of Darth Sideous bobbed in front of them, he concluded, "...she is more foolish than I thought."
The Viceroy announced, "We are sending all available troops to meet this army of hers assembling near the swamp. It appears to be made up of primitives. We do not expect much resistance."
"I feel there is more to this, My Master. What of the Jedi?" Darth Maul questioned.
"The Jedi cannot become involved. They can only protect the Queen. Even Qui- Gon Jinn will not break that covenant.... This will work to our advantage..." The Sith Lord replied pondering the possibilities.
Nute inquired, "I have your approval to proceed then, My Lord."
The Sith Master stated barely containing his hatred, "Wipe them out...all of them."
**
When everything was ready two groups left the cover of the swamp and forest. The Nubians departed for Theed determined to succeed in their mission. The Jedi accompanied them in order to continue their protection of the Queen. Qui-Gon gave Obi-Wan explicit instructions to stay close to him and mind what he said. The small group broke off into two parties as they neared the outskirts. They each made their approach at different angles in order to infiltrate the Palace.
The Gungan army was a more impressive exit, as the large mass of bodies and creatures made their way to confront the Federation's droid army. They headed for a large open field in which they could use their impenetrable energy to maximum efficiency. They halted the legions and started up the shield generators. Anxiously, they waited for their opponents to arrive.

Review please. I know these past two chapters have been a bit droll, but I will do my best to make up for it in the next few. ] : )
