A Naboo ship flies out of hyperspace followed by two Naboo N-1 starfighter beginning their descent to the plant of Coruscant. Once arriving into the atmosphere, the ships land on a landing platform. Two pilots emerge out of the Naboo N-1 starfighters and begin walking over to the Naboo ship after the Senator, her hand maidens, and a few of her guards emerge from the ship.

Captain Typho walks over to the other pilot. " We made it. I guess I was wrong. There was no danger at all." They watch as the Senator walks down the ramp, when as of a sudden they are knocked off their feet by a huge explosion.

The other pilot slowly sits up dazed and confused by what just happened slowly gets their baring's and looks around to what remains of the Naboo ship. The pilot stands up and looking around at the hand maidens and the guards until she notices the senator laying on the ground with the rubble barely moving. The pilot quickly runs over to her, kneels down next to her and removes her mask revealing that she is actually Senator Amidala disguised as a pilot for her protect.

"Corde!", Padme yells as she rolls the lady over seeing the severity of her injuries.

"My lady," Corde manages to croak out, "I'm so sorry. I failed you senator."

"No" Padme says as she shakes her head in disbelieve noticing it is too late as Corde is dead. This shouldn't have happened. This wasn't supposed to happen. Captain Typho runs over to her helping her up.

"Milady, you're still in danger here.". Padme notices Captain Typho looking around for more danger or seeing if he can find the person responsible for this, but Padme doesn't care. She knows whoever did this attack she could easily take them. Her lightsaber was attached to her utility belt hidden by her long shirt. Rage was coursing thought her body. She was surprised Captain Typho couldn't feel it.

"I shouldn't have come back."

"This vote is very important. You did your duty. Corde did hers. Now, come. Senator Amidala please"

I need to figure out who is responsible for this and there is only person I know that would have the answers.

"I need to speak with the Chancellor."

" And we will Senator, but first we need to leave." He grabs her arms and practically drags her way.

This pissed off Padme almost as much as the attack. Calm down Padme. He isn't the issue right now. I'm pretty sure Palpatine might have the answer to this. She glares as her and Captain Typho leave the landing docks.

After stopping at her apartment on Coruscant and changing her clothes, Padme arrives at the senate building. She angerly knocks on the Chancellor's door. The doors opens up. She walks in their in a rage.

"Palpa-" She starts to yell before looking around and notices members of the Jedi council are here. Shit. He isn't going to be happy about that.

"Sorry I didn't realize there was going to be any else here." She says.

"It's alright Senator Amidala. I figured you would be on your way after the attack. My dearest apologies about Corde. We were just about done here anyways," Palpatine says as he stands up from his desk dismissing the Jedi.

The Jedi stood up and started to leave.

"Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform terrible." Yoda says as he walks over to her. " Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart."

She had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. If only these guys knew how powerful I really was.

" Do you have any idea who is behind this attack?" She asked Yoda even thought this question was mainly directed at Palpatine.

Mace Windu interrupts their conversation. "Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners on the moons of Naboo.

That is really your answer. That is all you got. She fights back again rolling her eyes at the Jedi's answer to her question.

"I think that count Dooku was behind it." She looks at Palpatine glaring, but he doesn't seem to notice as he is staring out at the city.

"He is a political idealist. Not a murder, " Master Ki-Adi says.

If these Jedi could just leave I could actually get to the bottom of this.

"You know, milady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone. Its not in his character," Mace Windu says.

If only you actually knew what Dooku was up to now.

"But for certain ,Senator, in grave danger you are," Yoda says.

Chancellor Palpatine interrupts, "Master Jedi, may I suggest the senator be placed under the protection of your graces."

What is he planning. He knows I don't need nor do I want protection from the Jedi.

" Chancellor if I may comment I do not believe-", she starts to say.

"The situation is that serious? No, but I do, Senator. I realize all to well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you're familiar with. An old friend like Master Kenobi."

Before she could respond, Mace Windu interrupted, "That's possible. He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion."

" Do it for me, milady, please? The thought of loosing you is unbearable."

Well if this Chancellor thing does work out for his, acting is definitely and option.

Before she had the change to answer, Mace Windu answered for her. " I will have Obi-Wan report immediately, milady."

" Thank you Mast Windu,' she said as him and the rest of the Jedi left the Chancellor chambers.

Once sure they were officially gone, she said, " What are you doing? You know I don't want or need Jedi protection. You and me both know I'm perfectly capable of defending myself from whatever attack if against me which I'm pretty sure you know about or are behind." She glared at him. Does he really think im that stupid that I wouldn't figure it out. Cleary i"m smarter than the Jedi.

" Senator why would you think I had anything to do with these attacks?"

" Oh maybe because you are a sith lord and Dooku and everyone do as their told."

" Fine yes its Dooku but only because phase one of my plan is about to commence."

"What plan?"

" Don't play dumb. The only reason your were born was to turn the Chosen one to the dark side."

"Is it time already? isn't Anakin only like 15 now?"

"He's 20."

" How are you even so sure he is still infatuated with me? That was 10 years ago. I'm sure is feeling have changed. He hasn't even seen me since the celebration on Naboo."

Palpatine turned around smirking." You would be surprised my child." He chuckled.

" As you say my master." She bowed before the sith lord not trying to upset him. " I will do as I must" She turned to leave to go back to her apartment waiting for the arrival of Obi-Wan and Anakin.
