Shmi gripped Dooku's hand as she watched with him and the other Separatists in the dignitary box as the acklay headed towards Obi-Wan, the reek headed towards Anakin, and the nexu headed towards Padme.
Each of them managed to get free of the chain holding them to the pillar, and Anakin tamed the reek with the Force. He rode to where Padme was, trampling the nexu, and then they went to Obi-Wan, who jumped up behind Padme.
A burst of laser behind them caused Shmi and most of the other Separatists to jump.
Turning with Dooku, she saw Jedi Master Mace Windu with his purple lightsaber under Jango's chin.
"Master Windu," Dooku said.
"Party's over, Dooku."
About a hundred Jedi appeared in the stands and rushed down to Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme, who were now surrounded by battle droids.
The fight that took place was terrible. Once it was over, only twenty Jedi remained, and even Jango Fett had been killed.
Suddenly, Republic cruisers, carrying clones for the Republic's new army, arrived, rescuing the Jedi.
Dooku retreated like the other Separatists into the Hive, pulling Shmi along with him. He took the plans for the 'ultimate weapon' and flew off on a speeder bike with Shmi on behind him, clinging to him for dear life. He flew into the secret hangar where he kept his ship with Obi-Wan and Anakin close behind.
They confronted the Count.
"You're going to pay for all the Jedi you killed today, Dooku," Anakin said.
Shmi stood on the ramp of the ship, looking from her son to her husband, her heart tearing at seeing them as enemies.
The battle was fierce, and Dooku cut Obi-Wan's shoulder and thigh and cut Anakin's right arm off just below the elbow. He deactivated his lightsaber and headed towards the ship when a presence and noise made him stop. He instantly knew that it was Master Yoda.
Shmi could hardly believe her eyes as she watched the Count clash with his former Master.
They finally managed to escape and head for Coruscant to deliever the plans for the 'ultimate weapon' to Darth Sidious.
