Here's the part where it crosses into the episode Eminence. (Oh that was a great clone wars episode!) I hope you enjoy it, though those of you who have seen the episode will probably understand what's going on more. If you haven't just search the episode on YouTube. I'm sure it's there somewhere!

"OK, after this, we're gone!" Latts said. They were on the transport going to Gardulla the Hutt's palace on Nal Hutta. They only had a few minutes left until the transport arrived.
"Agreed. This was a waste of my time." Embo stated.
"It's just guarding the Hutt council." Sugi reminded.
"The Hutt Grand Council." Dengar corrected her, putting an emphasis on the 'grand'.
"Whatever." She muttered, shaking her head.
"So, have any of you been to Gardulla's palace?" Latts asked.
"Yes." Sugi and Embo both said together.
"Nope." Dengar said with a smile.
"How is it?" Latts asked.
"In all honesty, it was crappy." Sugi stated.
"Oh, alright." Latts said, sounding disappointed.
"We shouldn't be there very long. Those meetings are pretty short." Embo explained.
Soon the transport landed on the platform outside the palace. It was raining out, but the platform had a roof over it, protecting them from the weather. They walked out of the transport and were greeted by Gardulla's head of security, a Nikto guard.
"Hello, Jabba informed us that you would be coming." The Nikto said, leading them inside.
"Has the meeting already started?" Latts asked.
"No but it will in a few minutes." He responded.
Once inside, they were led to the Hutt Grand Council Hall. It was a circular room that had dim lighting. There was a skylight in the center of the room letting in some natural light, but not much. There was a raised area that had a wooden table and in the middle of the semi-circle, was a slightly lower area. Probably so the Hutts could look down at whoever wished to speak to them. None of the Hutts were there yet, though.
"You have time to relax before the meeting." The Nikto said. "Me and my men will be in the next room if you need anything."
"Thank you." Latts said. The Nikto nodded then left.
"Well, better relax while we can. I heard these meetings can get… hostile." Dengar said sitting down. There were four chairs set up for them in the shadowy outskirts of the room.
"I think you're overreacting." Sugi smirked.
Soon Hutts started coming in and taking their places at the wooden table. First there was Oruba, then a hologram of Gorga, followed by a hologram of Jabba, then Marlo, finally Arok. The bounty hunters were surprised that two of the Hutts had decided to attend via hologram but it wasn't really their concern. They only cared right now about getting their job done.
Soon the meeting was on. They discussed Hutt things like deceit, betrayal, punishments, spice dealing, and other illegal activities. They bounty hunters sat, bored to death by the meeting. The Hutts bickered for what seemed like a long time.
Suddenly, there was an interruption that caught the bounty hunter's interests. A guard led three beings down into the lower area so they could talk to the council. Two were Zabraks, one with red and black tattoos and the other with yellow and black. The third being was a human in Mandalorian armor. The mark on his helmet told them that he was Pre Vizsla of Death Watch. They looked like trouble.
"What do you want Death Watch?" Jabba demanded.
"There are many things the Hutts influence and possess that would be useful to us." The red tattooed one said. He seemed to be the leader of the group.
"For the right price." Jabba said to the insolent visitors. The bounty hunters could feel the Hutts anger.
"We have no credits." The Zabrak answered. Oruba and Gorga looked offended by the rude remark.
"Well, do you have something to trade?" Oruba asked.
"Your lives in exchange for Hutt space and everything in its borders." The Zabrak said menacingly. The bounty hunters knew these guys were idiots and goners. They had just insulted the five Hutt families a grand total of three times in a row! Others had died just for merely sneezing within five feet of one of the Hutts. Shurly these three were not going to live much longer.
Instead on the anticipated anger, all the Hutts just started laughing. The bounty hunters stood up, figuring that they would be called on to defend them.
"A foolish move." Jabba said, as all four bounty hunters jumped up onto the wooden table. "Now you will pay."
Sugi flipped her one knife into the air, caught it, and then proceeded to throw it at the red tattooed Zabrak's forehead. She smirked knowing that was one down, until-the knife stopped short! It was suspended in midair before his forehead. That's when she noticed the other Zabrak with his hand lifted. 'Crap,' She though, eyes widening. 'Force users.'
The larger yellow tattooed Zabrak dropped the knife, then the red tattooed one suspended it above his hand. He then used the force to throw the life back at the bounty hunters. It got lodged into the wooden table.
Jabba and the other Hutts' expressions looked a mix of outrage and fear as they stared at what they knew was about to become a fight.
OK, hope you liked it! please review!
