A/N: You ever have anything piss you off so badly? This chapter is a royal pain in the ass to upload. If it doesn't work, I may just start the whole fic over again. Hopefully it will go up this time. Anyway, this so far is the longest chapter, and here you'll see whom I've selected for R2-D2, Darth Maul, and Zelda's decoy. As for other reviewers, I know you're out there!

CHAPTER 4: SURPRISE RESCUE

After hours of crossing the planet's surface, the Droid Army of the Trade Federation had reached the capital city, Hyrule Market. The army advanced on the city by the hundreds, taking it by storm and sending the civilians to their locked homes in hiding . Troops, tanks, and aircraft soon had the entire city surrounded as Princess Zelda could only watch from the window overlooking the city in her castle. Before much longer, a group of battle droids appeared behind her, and she went with them reluctantly. Realization began to set in when a ship land in the streets near the castle, and out stepped the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Wolf O'Donnell, and his assistant Leon Powalski.

"Viceroy, we have captured the princess." A droid told his leader.

"Ah, victory." Wolf said with a smile.

The Zora bongo sped on, making it safely through the core of the planet, and soon surfaced in a pond near the center of Hyrule Market.

"This is lovely." Miaku said as the cockpit opened, allowing the three of them to step onto dry land.

"How will you explain this invasion to the senate?" Darunia asked as Wolf led him, the princess, and the rest of her court toward the streets.

"The princess and I will sign a treaty that will legitimize our occupation here." Wolf said confidently. "I have assurances it will be ratified by the senate."

"I will not cooperate." Zelda said defiantly.

"Now, now, your highness." Wolf said to her. "In time, the suffering of your people will persuade you to see our point of view." The viceroy then turned to one of many battle droids. "Commander."

"Yes, sir." The droid responded.

"Process them." Wolf told him. The droid then turned to another one."

"Captain, take them to Camp 4."

"Roger, roger." The droid said as he led Zelda and her court out into the streets of town, which was swarming with Trade Federation forces…and two Jedi knights with a Zora, who were hiding on a bridge the droids were heading to. As the droids led the princess toward the bridge, Roy and Marth cut them off, ignited lightsabers in hand. Marth jumped and threw his legs to either side of him, knocking two droids on their backs as Miaku dropped from above as well. Both Jedi took out a droid by slashing through it's midsection. Roy took out another after dodging a shot from it and slicing through it's chest, and took down another after slicking it's right leg off. A force push knocked down two more as Marth disposed of another two, cutting one through the neck, and the other through it's chest.

"We should leave the streets your highness." Roy urged.

"Get their weapons." Impa instructed to Zelda's court.

"Whoa." Said Miaku to the droids as he recovered from his fall. "You guys are bad." Zelda and Darunia continued their talks with the new person who had just entered their lives.

"We're ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor." Roy told them, referring to Marth and himself.

"Your negotiations seemed to have failed, Ambassador." Darunia said.

"The negotiations never took place." The Jedi countered. "It's urgent that we make contact with the Republic."

"They've knocked out all our communications." Impa told him.

"Do you have transports?" Roy asked quickly.

"In the main hangar." Impa replied as she pointed. "This way."

Inside the hangar, the group saw more droids with Hylian pilots as hostages.

"There are too many of them." Impa insisted.

"That won't be a problem." Roy said confidently as he turned to the princess. "Your highness, under the circumstances, I suggest you come to Mute City with us."

"Thank you Ambassador," Zelda said. "But my place is with my people."

"They will kill you if you stay." The Jedi Master warned.

"They wouldn't dare." Darunia interjected.

"They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of theirs legal." Impa added. "They can't afford to kill her."

"There is something else behind all this, Your Highness." Roy said to Zelda. "There's no logic in the Federation's move here. My feelings tell me they will destroy you."

"Our only hope is for the senate to side with us." Darunia said. "Senator Dragmire will need your help."

"Either choice presents great danger," Zelda said as she turned to her handmaidens. "To us all."

"We are brave, Your Highness." One of them said to her.

"If you are to leave, Your Highness, it must be now." Roy urged.

"Then I will plead our case to the senate." Zelda conceded. "Be careful, Governor." She said to Darunia, who had to stay behind. Without Zelda, he was in charge, and had no choice but to stay. Roy led the rest of them towards Zelda's main transport. It was a fair size, certainly big enough to hold all of them, but the problem was getting past the droids here, and the Trade Federations ships just outside Hyrule's atmosphere.

"We'll need to free those pilots." Impa said to Roy.

"I'll deal with that." Marth insisted. Roy then came up to a battle droid, blocking the entrance to Zelda's ship.

"Halt!" He commanded.

"I'm ambassador to the Supreme Chancellor." Roy told him. "I'm taking these people to Mute City."

"Where are you taking them?" The droid asked.

"To Mute City." Roy repeated calmly.

"Mute City?" The droid said. "Uh, that doesn't compute. Uh, what. You're under arrest!" At the droids words, Roy ignited his lightsaber and swiftly cut the droid in two, then took out another. Marth joined in the battle by taking down two more droids with another split kick, then slicing through two more. Roy took down another and allowed access to Zelda's ship.

"Come on, Move!" Impa ordered as Roy force pushed another droid to it's back. He blocked more droids shots long enough for Zelda and the other Hylians to board her ship. Marth cut through two more droids through their midsections.

"Go!" Marth told the pilots as they rushed toward the ship, and the young Jedi Padawan to his Master. The two of them continued to kill off advancing droids. Once they were dealt with, they boarded the ship themselves. A pilot sat down behind the controls to Zelda's ship, and they were soon off into space. Marth led Miaku into another room for a very special purpose.

"Now stay here," Marth said, "and keep out of trouble." Miaku knew better than to argue with a Jedi, and looked around the room. Inside, he spotted some droids. The were about three feet tall, and completely flat.

"Hello boys." Miaku said to the droids, and they replied with a few whistles and beeps.

At that same moment, Roy had entered the cockpit, where he saw the next obstacle the ship would have to overcome.

"There's the blockade." The pilot said to the rest of them. Marth soon entered the cockpit as well, and stood beside his master. Soon, one of the Federation gunships opened fire. They had to stick to defense, and Princess Zelda's ship had no weaponry whatsoever. They were successful in dodging the first few shots, but they were hit before long, opening a hole on the ships hull. An alarm sounded, indicating that where they were hit was not good.

"The shield generator's been hit!" The pilot yelled. An alarm went off in the room where Miaku was with the droids, and they began to deploy themselves onto an elevator which would take them to the surface of the hull. Miaku was bumped by a black one, and gasped.

"How rude!" Miaku said to the droid as it was deployed to the hull. Once there, the black droid joined the others in trying to repair the damage as the Trade Federation ship continued to fire. A shot hit one of the yellow droids, completely destroying it and sending it's remains flying behind the ship. Before long, a blue one was hit as well.

"We're losing droids fast." Marth said as he watched the demise of the two droids.

"If we can't get the shield generator fixed, we'll be sitting ducks." Impa warned. A green droid was lost in that same instant.

"The shields are gone." The pilot said. The flat, black droid let out a few beeps, the placed a wire into a power cufflink, which fixed the problem.

"The power's back!" The pilot said in surprise. "That little droid did it! He bypassed the main power drive. Deflector shields up at maximum." The ship continued to fire as the droid returned from where it came.

"There's not enough power to get us to Mute City." The pilot warned. "The hyperdrive is leaking."

"We'll have to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship." Roy said. The problem was, where?

"Here master, Zebes." Marth said at a console. "It's small, out of the way, and poor. The Trade Federation have no presence there."

"How can you be sure?" Impa asked.

"It's controlled by the Space Pirates." Roy said.

"You cant take Her Royal Highness there!" Impa protested. "The Space Pirates are gangsters! If they discovered her-"

"It'd be no different than if we landed on a planet controlled by the Federation." Roy interrupted her. "Except that the Space Pirates aren't looking for her, which gives us the advantage."

Back on the Federation control ship. Wolf and Leon were once again in communications with Darth Ganon.

"And Princess Zelda," Ganon said. "Has she signed the treaty?"

"She has disappeared, my lord." Wolf said to him. "One Hyrule cruiser got past the blockade."

"I want that treaty signed." Darth Ganon snarled.

"My lord," Wolf continued. "it's impossible to locate she ship. It's out of our range."

"Not for a Sith." Ganon said as another joined him. This obvious Sith Lord was large, bulky, and looked reptilian. He had two horns on his head, and sharp spikes littered his back.

"This is my apprentice, Darth Bowser." Ganon said to them. "He will find your lost ship." With that, the communication ended.

"This is getting out of hand." Wold complained. "Now there are two of them!"

"We should not have made this bargain." Leon said.

Back onboard Zelda's Ship, the droid who repaired the Shield Generator was meeting with the princess herself.

"An extremely well-put-together little droid, Your Highness." Impa said. Without a doubt, it saved the ship, as well as our lives."

"It is to be commended." Princess Zelda insisted. "What is it called?" The droid let out a few beeps as Impa checked.

"Mr. Game and Watch, Your Highness." Impa told her.

"Thank you, Mr. Game and Watch." Zelda told the droid, who seemed happy to have the princess' approval.

"Sheik." The princess said, calling for one of her handmaidens. "Clean this droid up as best you can. It deserves our gratitude." Sheik then left with the droid. "Continue, Captain." Impa had nothing more to say, and turned to the two Jedi.

"Your highness, with your permission, we're heading for a remote planet called Zebes." Roy said. It's in a system far beyond the reach of the Trade Federation."

"I do not agree with the Jedi on this." Impa told her princess.

"You must trust my judgment, Your Highness."

Sheik sat in the droid hangar wiping down Mr. Game and Watch with a damp cloth when she was approached by Miaku.

"Hello." Miaku said, startling the princess' handmaiden. "Sorry. Who are you?"

"I'm Sheik." She said.

"I'm Miaku." The Zora told the girl.

"You're a Zora, aren't you?" Sheik asked.

"Uh-huh." Miaku replied.

"How'd you end up here with us?" Sheik wondered.

"I don't know." Miaku replied. "My day started off pretty okay, with finding some breakfast. Then boom! Getting very scared and grabbing that Jedi, and POW! I'm here." Mr. Game and Watch let out a beep, as if understanding Miaku's story. "I'm getting very, very scared."
