Chapter 5
A quick leap brough Obi Wan over and in front of a group of droids guarding the Palace, his lightsaber still hooked to his belt. Shifting the Force as he landed, the three guards pulled tightly together. The Republic Defense Volunteers who had been tracking Obi Wan's leap released a salvo of destructive energy that tore through the droids and forced the young Jedi to dive backwards.
Following Kenobi's orders, the Defense team continued to track him as he leapt in front of different groups of security droids. When the entire southern wall had been cleared, having taken less then a minute, the troops had moved in along side Obi Wan and prepared their ascension guns.
Obi Wan had brought a squad of twelve with him. The plan was to enter at the fourth floor windows, keep tight and then take the lift back down to the third floor. That was where the Viceroy was sure to be. The fourth floor had been designated the entry point because of the lack of activity noticed by the assigned watch teams for the last week. They expected, and recieved, little resistance.

Obi Wan had asssigned the Gungans the charge of retaking the hangar. Bursting in with out firing a shot, the Gungans immediately started hurling their energy orbs at the droids. The first line of Gungans launched with specific targets in mind: the command units. The second line of Gungans threw the orbs in the general direction of the pilots, and in great amounts. In a matter of minutes the room had been cleared of droids and only one N-1 fighter had been damaged. The pilots quickly ran to their stations. As the N-1's started to lift off, the Gungans made preparations to return to Boss Nass and help with the main battle.
As they collected themselves, the large bay doors at the opposite end of the hangar slowly opened.
Not a single Gungan would leave that hangar.
