Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi followed the Gungan through the thick forests of Naboo. They came towards a big lake.

"Well," said Obi Wan, "your sense of direction really amazes me." He gestured his arm towards the lake, "this hidden city of yours really seems the place you'd grow up in."

"How rude," the Gungan replied crossly, "yousa bringin disrespict to ma people. Da way to Otoh Gunga is goen underwater, okie day?!"

"Okay!" Obi Wan retaliated, "I'm sorry!"

"Oh yousa is goen be sorry once yousa be arriving," said the Gungan, "Gungans no liken outlanders." He turned to Qui Gon, "Mesa should warn you not to expict a werm welcome from ussen Gungans."

"Not to worry," said Qui Gon Jinn, "we've just had our ship blown out of the sky. Can't imagine anything worse."

Qui Gon and Obi Wan put on breathing masks. The Gungan walked down into the lake as the two Jedi followed. As they got deeper, the three submerged into the murky depths. The lake was much deeper than the Jedi realised and in the distance could be seen the glow of a lit city.

The three swam towards the underwater Gungan city, a magnificent structure anchored to a deep underwater cliff. It seemed to be encased in spheres of glass.

As they swam closer, the two Jedi saw the Gungan go through what the Jedi thought was glass, but now turned out to be some kind of synthetic bubble membrane. The Jedi followed the Gungan and came to stand on the city grounds in dry air. As Qui Gon Jinn looked around, he saw the city was built to an engineering so great that only an amphibian race could be capable of building it. It was certainly nothing a human could build.

As the three entered the city square, a group of Gungan guards advanced on them pointing spears at them. "JarJar," one of the Guards spoke to the arrested Gungan, "whosa are dosa?"

"Theysa goen ta Teed. Theysa needin to go takin the shortcut."

"Bringin aliens to da hidden city is strict forbid." Said the Guard, "yousa all goen straight to da boss."

The three were guided up many steps to the high tower. There was the board room, the walls were made of the bubble membrane that shielded the Gungans from the water above and around. Fish could be seen swimming around them like a fish tank all around. Gungan officials dominated the room all sat down, with Boss Nass sitting in a seat higher than the officials.

"JarJar Binks!" Boomed Boss Nass, "yousa betray da Gungan race by bringin outlanders to Otoh Gunga?!"

JarJar trembled, "Theysa be wishen safe passage through here to da Teed. Mesa was helpen them get there quick."

Qui Gon spoke up, "we mean you no harm, Boss. We just need to get to Theed as quickly as possible. JarJar Binks here was kind enough to help us."

Boss Nass pondered the matter.

"I must also warn you," Obi Wan added, "of the attack being made on Naboo. Once the droids take over Theed they will find this city also, even without being told by a Gungan."

"Dos mackineeks no comen here!" Declared Boss Nass, "they don't know of ussen."

"Then," said Qui Gon, "do consider sending your support to the Naboo"

"Wesa no liken da Naboo. Theysa tink they so smarty then ussens. Wesa wishing no notten in yousa tings."

"Then at least let us go so we can help the people of Naboo," said Qui Gon, "we will not return and will never tell a soul of your hidden city."

Boss Nass stroked his chin, pondering over the matter. He then gestured his hand to the left.

"Wesa give you una bongo," he declared, "da speedest way to da Teed tis goen through da Planet core. Now go."

"Thank you," said Qui Gon. Two Gungan guards led them out of the room. Qui Gon turned to JarJar Binks, "thank you, as well," he said.

"No problem," JarJar replied, "Mesa must warn yous that the planet core is bad bombin."

"Thank you, my friend,"

The guards led the two Jedi knights out of the board room towards Boss Nass' so named 'bongo'.
