Author Note: I can't remember off the top of my head what Anakin's girlfriend was called, or even where I found out about her, but I know that he only loved her for about three months. Then he met Padme.
As soon as I find the site again, I shall let you know, because it wasn't on the star wars site, but it was an official site about star wars.
In the cockpit of his ship, Jango stood scanning the Nubian shore and the approaching platform.
Boba stood beside him and Nute Gunray, a Nemoidan lieutenant, approached Jango from the living quarters of the ship.
"Should we wait for the others?" he asked Jango who simply marked the progress of the other ships on his scanner. The nearest ship was a quarter of a mile back.
Then he looked at his men, the clones that had remained loyal to him, rather than sidious. All of them were helping each other to suit up in their pure white armour.
"They brought us here for a war, didn't they?" Jango said at last.
"Yes, my lord. But Sidious --"
Jango stared at his officer until the nemoidan bowed his head.
"Do you fight for me, Nute? Or Sidious?"
"For you, my lord."
"Then fight for me. And let the servants of Sidious fight for him."
oOo
In Sidious's ship, Sidious, Mas Amedda and Grievous stand in their cockpit.
"Whose ship is that?" Grievous asked and Mas Amedda looked at the scanner.
"Slave 1...Jango."
They watched Jango's ship approaching the platform and making ready to land.
"What is that fool doing? He's going to take the platform of Naboo with fifty men?" Sidious exclaimed in disbelief as Jango's ship made it's final approach to the shoreline.
oOo
On the beach, the Nubian snipers checked their rifles one last time before jumping down into the trenches to wait.
oOo
Inside the cavernous building, known as Naboo's armoury, men were crowded in along with racks and racks of electro-spears, rifles, breastplates, and helmets. Obi-Wan watched as hundreds of male citizens and volunteers rushed into the armory and were issued weapons by Nubian soldiers. The faces of the men reflected fear, excitement, and resolve. Dexter approached the prince and bowed.
"The Theed Guard?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Waiting at the city gates," Dexter replied and Obi-Wan nodded.
"Good. How long before the army is ready?"
"Half our men are still coming in from the countryside. We have to arm them, we have to match them with the right officers --"
"How long?" Obi-Wan asked again, a little impatiently.
Dexter took a deep breath. "Noon?"
"Make it sooner," Obi-Wan said. He was in martial mode now. He even looked different. Eyes harder, mouth set and unsmiling.
"I want patrols to scour the countryside. Check every home, every pasture. I want every Nubian brought inside the walls. If they can't walk, carry them."
Dexter bowed his head and Obi-Wan walked swiftly away, followed by another officer.
The other Nubians watched their prince with silent respect. There was no doubt who was leader of the city.
oOo
Inside Jango's ship, Jango surveyed his army. Every clone was now armoured and ready, even Boba.
"Where are you going?" Jango asked his son suspiciously.
"To fight the Nubians," Boba replied, checking his rifle, but Jango shaked his head and took the rifle away.
"You're not ready."
"I am ready. You taught me how to fight," Boba protested, but Jango simply laid a hand on the back of Boba's head and pulled him closer.
"You're a good student. But you're not a kaminoan yet." He gestured to the men around him.
"These are the fiercest soldiers in the galaxy. Each of them has bled for me before. I can't fight the Nubians if I'm worrying about you, son. Guard the ship."
Boba looked about the deck. The only unarmored man aboard was an old, one legged armourer, mending spears. Boba angrily striped off his breastplate and droped it on the deck.
oOo
Obi-Wan and Dexter sped through the main city gate. They pulled to a halt in and looked over the elite Theed Guard, eighty of Naboo's finest soldiers, riding well-oiled, energetic bikes. When Obi-Wan spoke, his voice was clear and steady.
"All my life I've lived by a code, and the code is simple. Honor the gods. Love your woman, and defend your country."
The men roared and filled Obi-Wan with pride.
"Naboo is mother to us all. Fight for her!"
The men roared and thrust their spears into the air as Obi-Wan began the procession to the beach.
oOo
Jango stood in his ship's cockpit, scanning the Nubian dunes for any signs of weakness that would be easy to break through, then he turned to his men. When he saw their anxious faces, he smiled.
"Kaminoans, we are brothers of the sword. I'd rather fight alongside you than any army of thousands."
His men cheered, looking slightly easier at his confident and encouraging words. Jango pointed a pistol toward the beach.
"Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality."
The clones raised their rifles and cried out with one voice in agreement.
Jango pressed one last button on the panel and the ship came to rest on the platform.
He pulled on his helmet, grabed his jetpack and ran down the ramp to the beach. The clones followed him, pulling on their helmets and dashing down the ramp.
