Naboo
As the celebrations dragged on and slowly came to an end Queen Amidala was escorted back to her private quarters. As she lay in her bed contemplating the battle of Naboo she couldn't get her head off Anakin he was around her age right? She hoped he did well as a Jedi, her thoughts were cut off by the beep of her intercom she put it to her ear. "I said not to disturb me beside important matters." Her guard responded. "It's the chancellor he wants to speak to you in private." She pulled her head up, interest piqued, her response was firm and accepting. "Let him in but tell him i'm on a busy schedule,"
There was a small beep as the blast doors opened Padmé stood waiting in a less formal attire as she was not expecting guests as the Chancellor entered and the blast doors closed he bowed before addressing her. "My Queen, I'm sure you are as committed to getting revenge on those Trade federation elites who thought they could take our planet from us over some unpaid debt. I have organised a meeting with them where you can end any issues you have with them. " The way he spoke was very informal and unlike him it was almost like there was something sinister behind the annoyed and mildly angry face he was giving off.
"I would accept those terms under the assumption that there would be no threat to Naboo or its people." Padmé hesitated he had not given much information beside there being a meeting so before he could talk again she voiced her concerns of the meeting. "I presume my security detail will be there and that you would be there to mediate." Padmé could see a visible frown as if a part of her assumption was untenable she assumed it was him being mediator but if he organised it wouldn't it make sense for him to mediate it. Almost as if the chancellor could sense her thoughts like a Jedi he responded. "I will mediate the negotiations but there will be no security detail from the Naboo royal guard unfortunately a part of the deal was that there would be no Royal or senatorial guard." Padmé was hesitant to accept the terms but felt like she was obligated to so that she could give Naboo closure to their tragedy. "Send me the information and I'll be there wherever I'm needed. It's my obligation as Queen to make sure OUR people get closure. Now I would like to get some rest unless you're unsatisfied, I think that our conversation is over." With that the Chancellor bowed respectfully and left.

Cato Neimoidia
As the shuttle prepared to land on Cato Neimoidia the Chancellor warned her firmly with a tint of anger in his voice."You are to refer to me as a Sudokus until the end of the trip." In repose Padmé nodded in acknowledgement. As the robed Sidious and plainly clothed Amidala exited the ship they were escorted to a small bunker of some sort.
Once they entered she held back disgust and anger at the four torturers of Naboo, Senator Lott Dot, Viceroy Newt Gunray, Rune Haako and Gode Takrab. Padmé could make out the noise of some snide remarks towards her, she sat down hesitantly to riddled by fear, anger and disgust to speak the first word. "I would like to thank you for the negotiation. I'm surprised you accepted Lord Sidious' invitation. I assume he sent one of his cronies to force you here. Now we would like you to sign this document handing Naboo over to federation hands." Newt spoke with arrogance. Padmé looked back at Sidious with confusion and disgust and she aggressively responded. "I will not sign any treaties that hand over my planet to a good for nothing greedy corporation."
"I don't think you have have a choice if you refuse now we will torture a signature out of you and if you refuse that we will kill you and reinvade Naboo its quite naive of you to belive that this would be a fair negotiation." Below the table Padmé clenched her fist as an insidious voice whispered inside her head of her mother. "Reach out, muster your hate." Padmé was confused as this was very unlike her mother but she let the voice continue. "Do it use your hate to kill them for Naboo for our people."
Given Padmé had very little choices she listened to the voice and reached out with her hand at first they scoffed and laughed at her saying. "You think you're some kind of Jedi." Padmé gritted her teeth and clenched her fist in anger, at first the power was a trickle but she couldn't stop letting it deeper and deeper into her. As she did the same with the other fists and raised it the Nemodians stopped laughing and were paralyzed with fear. Padmé clenched harder and the Nemodians began choking grasping at their throats for air Padmé was soaking in there fear as she clenched harder she heard a snap and pop.
The power flooded out of her, she lowered her hand and shivered. It felt like for a moment she wasn't in control of herself, to her surprise Sidious laughed. "Very good Darth Amare, you have done well." She looked at Sidious in horror. "I-You did this to me you took me over." Sidious shook his head. "All I did was push you over the edge." She took a step back nervously backing away into the locked door looking him dead in the eyes she had fallen into what she did to the Nemodians, paralysed by fear she stayed still until a flood of lightning hit her skin she fell to the ground writhing in pain. "Your new life as Sith will not be easy but as those greasy Nemodians said I don't think you have a choice in this."
Padmé fought against the pain pushing herself off the ground before collapsing back to ground. The lightning suddenly faded away and she pulled herself back up again. "We must go for our time here is short."

Hyperspace
As Padmé lay shivering in the shuttle bunk she had come to terms that she would be forced to be a Sith Lord the word Sith in itself disgusted her after what they had done to Naboo. The fact that she was destined to become one made her stomach churn she couldn't expose him else the tapes of her killing people whom she had an obvious hatred for. She carefully put her hand against a blaster sitting next to her bed. If she just ended it all now all her pain and the pain she would cause to others would be over in a fraction of a second. She put it up to her head and reminisced on her life she put it back down she couldn't pull the trigger. It was too hard she had people who looked up to her people who loved her people who she had to care for. She let her normally cool demeanor slip tears welled in her eyes and poured out she couldn't do it was to hard for her, as she sobbed she thought to herself of harder things that she had done, she ran for Queen, beat back a opponent the trade federation, if she could do that then why couldn't she be a sith and do the right thing.
The door to the driver's area of the shuttle rattled open Sidious glided through the door as it shut behind him Padmé refused to give him the first word she spoke in anger. "It was you, you orchestrated the Naboo crisis." She hissed at him, he responded in a very simple manner there was a slight grin etched onto his face. "Of course I was how else was I supposed to come to power dear and thanks to your maneuver in the senate I did." Padmé's glare was filled with pure anger, he was responsible for the mass slaughter of his OWN people. "You're too predictable, too caring, too weak." Padmé clenched her fist anger morphing into rage, he didn't understand her, he never would, how could someone who destroyed thousands of his own people's life. She began pulling on the dark energy that she called upon before, it felt so good, she attempted to pull his saber that lay on his belt but before she could a fountain of lighting poured over her. Abruptly it came to an end despite it lasting for a brief moment it pained her to move her muscles, it was far more powerful than the stream he used on her on Cato Neimoidia. "You really thought that you could kill a sith lord that easily." Sidious cackled. As Padmé's rage subsided, she shivered Sidious's anger was cold she could feel a cold targeted hate emanating from Sidious's being.
"Now that you have accepted your fate my apprentice, you are not to re-run for Queen as you will need to run with me for chancellor, you will need it for your training. The only reason your Queen is because of me I was planning this since you were a child your connection to the force is only paralleled by Skywalker. I'm sure that you remember the anonymous source of funds that paid for your schooling and campaign for Queen. I'm sure you can guess who that was from." Padmé stared back in horror from the sounds of it he had groomed her to be his perfect politically useful apprentice oh force was she frightened. She wanted to back away but she couldn't, fear washed over her as the realisation sank through her. "I hate you, people like you disgust me" Padmé spat at him. "People like you who only care for themself and their power, I despise you master, you may have forced this path on me but don't expect me to be an easy student."
"If that's how it shall be I will work with those conditions." Sidious responded, Padmé reasoned that when that when it came to training he wouldn't be so understanding, although if he put things she cared for in harm's way she would be sure to bend to him. With that Sidious walked back into the cockpit, with Sidious gone Padmé tried to get ahead in the force department. She attempted to call the energy that killed Gunray, although she knew that she had the power of the force she used it for kriffs sake she called and called and called until she snapped in anger at that moment the energy flowed back through her. It was like a switch flipped inside her, she realised the common factor in using the power was her negative emotions. She shuddered in fear she should have known what she was using. It was the dark side, the power was so intoxicating she wanted to hold it in and against her better judgment she did. She reached her arm out pulling on the energy the blaster flew into her hand and placed it onto the bed. Instead of the power leaving her when her goal was achieved it retained its state within her, she didn't want to let it go, she wouldn't let it go, she couldn't let it go. As she lay her head on the pillow of the bed she reaffirmed to herself that she was still in control even if she let the darkside into herself she was still in control of herself, she could let it go at any time, right?

Naboo
As the shuttle landed on Naboo, Padmé stepped off the ship into her palace ship landing zone. Palpatine stepped out with her and as they stepped into the villa Palpatine spoke without his normal kind and fatherly voice he had when he played his kind persona. "Now I would like to train you myself but unfortunately I do not have that sort of time on my hands, but I do have an apprentice who will take you for the majority of your training." With that Padmé stormed out into her quarters.
