Nimowae's POV
Everyone had gotten onto a different ship, what Qui-Gon
believed the best way to get down undetected to the planet. As I
stepped out of my ship, looking around for the others, I was
immediately fired at by droids. I drew my lightsabre to try and
reflect the blasts back. It was just getting to be too much when
ObiWan appeared beside of me, saving me as he always did. (Roll my
eyes) We bickered as we ran towards Qui-Gon, who was standing in a
clearing waiting for us. He destroyed the last droid on our tail and
we all breathed deeply as we stood together. I could only assume that
Aravis was there somewhere invisible, probably looking at my brother
again, when I felt her breath on the side of my face. I turned around
quickly and smacked her right in her head. It was hilarious to hear a
loud "OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" from no-one in particular. She
appeared and I laughed aloud, Qui-Gon gave me "the evil eye",
as in 'You're being too loud.', and I quickly quieted down. With both
of them now staring at us, we continued on our way behind them.
(Aravis' favorite place to be, by the way.)
It was then that I
noticed the strange creature running with us for the first time. I
knew him to be a Gungan from my training at the temple. (Required
reading) Qui-Gon did not seem to be too happy that he was with us. I
listened as my brother told the poor little Gungan something about
being blown up, but I just had to smirk when I saw the look on its
face. Was he really buying MY brother's acting??? Then I heard it say
something about underwater cities, and all our attention peaked and
was directed to it to listen to what it had to say. The next thing I
knew, Aravis and I were in a forcefield, and I was using my sinking
power to get us to the bottom of a large lake to find a huge
bubble-like city.
As Qui-Gon Jinn and ObiWan spoke with the
"bosses", Aravis and I stood by and patiently waited. When
we began to walk back, I heard my brother ask Qui-Gon what a Bongo
was, I looked at him and said with a smirk on my face, "It's a
transport." (I loved it when I knew things he didn't)
Lol.
Aravis' POV
I suppose this was Qui-Gon's time to
be the noble one in rescuing Jar Jar the Gungan. I always did find it
quite annoying when either of the guys did that. Well, not all the
time, the truth was, I just didn't like Jar Jar. He had the brain of
a goldfish, no, half a goldfish.
We got into the Bongo, which
was, as Nimowae so lovingly informed her brother, a transport, and
headed for the planet core. Which, according the "the boss",
was the fastest way to the city of Naboo. To make a long story short,
we met many fish, which only got bigger and ate each other as Qui-Gon
said some sort of "duh" words of wisdom. I ended up using
the force on Jar Jar to shut him up. ObiWan glanced at me with a
smile on his face and said "I think you overdid it."
I
smiled back and said, "Anything to shut him up."
We did
actually make it to the Naboo capital without being eaten. We
followed Queen Amidala's capture party from above, planning an attack
as soon as they were close enough. Amidala is the Queen of Naboo.
Only about 14 years of age. We dropped down and began, well, kicking
droid butt. Finally a battle, without destroyers, it was more of a
workout really. lol. Qui-Gon said we should all get off the streets,
an obvious statement in my oppinion as there were about ten thousand
of them and four of us. Well really, if you think, only three,
becuase ObiWan would never allow Nimowae to fight for herself. But
either way... we were outnumbered. As Qui-Gon tried to convince the
Queen to come to Correscent for her own protection, Nimowae and I
stood quietly beside ObiWan. Why couldn't I have ended up right next
to him? She didn't really care where she was, but oh yeah, he did...
Jealousy... We started out to the hanger to free the pilots and
obtain a transport. ObiWan took Nimowae with him to free all of the
pilots while Qui-Gon took care of the pleasentries and I took care of
the droids. We headed out to space, but as we lost all but one little
droid trying to repair the shield generator, our power ran low and
ObiWan searched for a safe planet to land the ship on for further
repair. We stood in the cabin watching him search the surrounding
constellations, wondering what could happen next.
Finally, he
found a small planet called Tatooine, we all voiced our argument that
it was run by the Hutts, but Qui-Gon told us all that it was better
that than the Federation. True...true...I thought.
