AN: Enter the Star Wars Universe. A quick note about the ages. Percy and Padme are both 17 in this first chapter. This story takes place about 7 years before the start of The Phantom Menace. Therefor, Padme is not Queen yet, but I am going to have her be working as a handmaiden at this time. I do not know if her sister is older/younger in cannon, but she will be younger in this story. I am also going to make the Naberrie family be a well off influential family, and have an estate out in the country (where Anakin and Padme get married in cannon).
Shoutout to IanOfTheG for the first review
Chapter II:
Unknown POV
There was a disturbance in the force. The leaders of both factions felt it. One deemed it too dark and found it intoxicating. The other deemed it to pure and felt hope. Neither knew what this disturbance. Was it good? Was it bad? Only time would tell.
Across the galaxy the disturbance grew bigger. The force users with some of the deepest connections to the force felt change coming. They tried to meditate deeper when another disturbance was felt.
The disturbance was gone. Usually something that powerful would still be felt. But this was now completely gone.
Both sides wandered what that meant, and if they would ever find out.

Padme's POV
I was enjoying my week off at my family's lake estate. Things had been hectic back at the palace. I was a handmaiden to the Queen. She had given me the week off so I could spend time with my family while she went on a diplomatic mission to Coruscant.
I was currently making my way down to the waters edge to just relax there, maybe to even dip my feet in the water. As I made my way there, I felt a chill go down my back. I looked around trying to place what was causing this feeling.
Suddenly, a ship of unknown making appeared high up on the horizon. It was smoking badly and looked like it could barely make it to land. It was quickly coming closer.
I stepped away from the edge of the water, prepared to run to the house to get help. The ship was barely above the water's surface now and was really close to the land. I watched in horror as it crashed about 500 feet from me. I tentatively stepped towards it, but was thrown to ground as part of the ship exploded.
Through the flames I could see someone trapped under some debris. I got up and ran towards the person. It was a black haired individual who had cuts and burns all over his body. I could not tell if he was even breathing.
I dragged him out of the wreckage right before the ship exploded. I tried to shield him from the explosion, but it knocked me over again. I received a small cut on my arm, but was otherwise good. The person on the other hand, was barely alive. Deciding that I couldn't carry him alone very far, I decided he could be temporarily left alone while I went to get help.
Running up and into the house, I started screaming for someone to come help. My father, Ruwee, was the first to respond. He instantly saw my cut arm and singed clothes and knew something was wrong. I quickly told him what happened.
My father grabbed his com link from his pocket and hailed our family astromech. "R2 prep our speeder for a trip to the capital." He then turned to me. "Padme, go inform your mother that you, the injured person and myself are heading to the capital for medical treatment." I rushed off to do as he said.
I came back to find him outside loading the person onto our speeder. The person was awfully pale but was somehow still breathing. In my trip outside I had grabbed a towel. On our rushed trip to the capital, I was cleaning the blood off his wounds so that we could see the extent of the injuries.
They were bad. Almost every inch of his arms, legs and face were covered in cuts. I couldn't see his chest but with all the wholes and burns in his shirt I felt that it was equally as bad.
We arrived at the capital, my father flashing his identification to speed our process up. We arrived outside the medical complex. My father picked up the boy and we rushed inside. My father told me to get my cut checked out while he rushed into an operating room with the lead doctor and a few medical droids.

It was 4 painstaking hours later when my father finally walked out of the room. I had been passing the time talking to R2. He looked exhausted. Blood covered his shirt. He looked around the room then joined me where I was sitting in the waiting room. I gave him a minute to relax before talking.
"How is he?" I asked quietly.
"In very bad shape. We have got him stabilized and sleeping currently. We lost him 3 times while treating his injuries. He had so many wounds, some not from a simple crash. It looked like he had been tortured. The burns were the easiest, as they weren't severe. The droids don't think he will ever wake up, but the doctor thinks he will just not for a while. How are you doing? I know that can't have been easy to have to deal with." He said this while rubbing soothing circles in my back.
"I am fine, though was not expecting to see this today." I told him.
He looked over at me and smiled gently.
"Understandable sweetheart. Remind me how many days you have left off?"
"Just one. The Queen returns tomorrow and then I will be needed back at her side." I said with a sigh. It would be straight back to work.
"Would you be okay staying here in the capital and keeping an eye on our guest here? He needs to answer some questions I have. I know that would make you lose 1 day off but would you do this for me?"
"Of course dad. I am curious too about the situation this person has found himself in." I said.
"I am going to take R2 back home. Will you com me when he awakes? I've told the doctor to do the same. I will also explain the situation to your mother and sister. Please take care." With those words my father left. I sighed and left to head back to my quarters here at the capital, not ready to get back to work but not wanting to disappoint my father.

*2 Weeks Later*
Percy's POV
I was in extreme pain. It seemed like all I knew was pain these days. The events on Olympus rushed back to me. They had warned me it would hurt. This was Tartarus all over again. I couldn't open my eyes due to the pain. Not knowing where I was, I reached out with my water senses to figure out if there were others here. I could only sense one presence.
I waited a minute, and the pain finally was bearable enough to try to open my eyes. I was in a white room, clearly some sort of infirmary. I tried to sit up but the pain hit me again. There was a gasp then I felt someone gently push me back down.
I looked at what I could only describe as an angel. A brown hair girl with these beautiful doe brown eyes was staring at me wide eyed.
"Wh-Where am I?" I slurred out.
"Your in Theed, the capital of the planet Naboo. My name is Padme Naberrie. I found you after your ship crashed near my house. Me and my father took you here to get medical treatment. Can you tell me what happened? What is your name."
I took a look around. Apparently I was on another planet. Guess that was Zeus's version of a punishment. And this beautiful girl was my savior. The least I could do was tell her my name.
"My name is Percy Jackson."
AN: And there is the second chapter. Please enjoy, like and review. The next chapter will be several time skips to officially catch up to the start of The Phantom Menace. Let me know what you think.
