Back on Naboo, Nute Gunray and Divatox conversed with Governor Bibble.

"Your Queen is lost and your people are starving." Gunray said smugly. "And if she does not return, then I'm afraid you'll be joining the dying ones."

"This invasion is gaining you nothing!" Bibble protested. "We're a Democracy! The people MUST be heard!"

"When the clanking of droids subsides perhaps." Gunray sniffed. "Take him away!"

The two Battle Droids marched off with the Governor, As Commander OOM-9 approached.

"My troops are preparing to begin searching the swamps for these underwater native cities." He reported. "They will not stay hidden for long."

Divatox huffed. "Honestly, all you Nemidois talk about is politics, I was promised riches if I joined your conquest, Not all this political jargon!"

"You will have a reward, when the planet is under our full control." Gunray responded. "Though I don't see why Lord Sidious employed you at all if all you've done so far is-"

Nute was then grabbed off his crab chair and brought face to face with Divatox as she held him by the throat. "Listen buddy, If you want this stupid Queen, I'll get her for you, Just keep your trap shut, and get me lands to plunder!"

The Viceroy gurgled. "Fine… Just… Let go!"

Divatox released him and the Nemoidian fell to the floor, breathing heavily, She walked off immediately and called her minions. "Elgar, Proto, Rygog! Get the Piranahtrons ready, I want them to spread terror on this world."

Meanwhile,

On the Naboo cruiser, Qui Gon and Co, received a message for Naboo.

"The Death Toll is catastrophic." Said the Holo-Graphic image of Sio Bibble. "And now they've brought in Mercenaries, the likes of which I've never seen before. We MUST bow to their wishes, you MUST contact me!"

"It's most likely a trick to try and establish a connection trace." Said Qui Gon.

"But what if it is true?" Obi Wan asked. "And the people are dying?"

"Then it is all the more imperative that we get to Coruscant." Said the Queen.

"And what about these "Mercenaries" the Governor mentioned?" Captain Panaka asked. "Don't the Federation have enough Battle Droids to secure the planet?"

"From the way the Governor described them…" Said T.J. "It's probably someone we know."

As the crew talked and deliberated on the matter, Padme retreated to the lower decks, to escape the talk and think to herself, R2 was shut off in the corner and Jar Jar was sleeping in the chairs around the table. She looked and saw Anakin and Justin in a corner together, talking.

"It's very cold." Said Anakin.

"Yeah, Space is cold." Said Justin. "And you come from a warm Planet."

"Do you have a Mom?" Asked Anakin.

"No, she died years ago." Said Justin. "I just live with my Dad."

"How did you become a Power Ranger?"

"Well…" Justin said. "Before T.J. and the others held the mantle, I was friends with their predecessors, Tommy, Adam, Tanya and Kat, there was also Rocky, who before me, They were called the Zeo Rangers before fighting Divatox, And they created the Turbo Zords to fight her, one Ranger, Rocky, got hurt really bad and couldn't join, So when I found out their identities, I took his place, and… You can probably figure out the rest."

"Do you miss your home?" Anakin asked.

"...Yeah." Said Justin. "And I hope I Find a way back soon."

They then looked over and saw Padme looking at them.

"What are you doing?" Asked Anakin.

"Oh nothing much." Said Padme. "Just… We got some bad news."

"How bad?" Asked Justin.

"The Queen is worried." Said Padme. "Her people are suffering, dying. She must convince the senate to intervene or else… I don't know what will happen."

"I made this for you." Anakin pulled something out and handed it to Padme. "So you'd remember me."

It was a small pendant. "I carved it out of a japor snippet, it'll bring you good fortune."

"Oh Anni." Said Padme. "It's nice, but I don't need this to remember you by, many things will change when we reach the capital Anakin, but my caring for you will remain."

"I care for you too." Said Anakin. "Only I…"

"You miss your Mother." Said Padme.

Anakin's tears said it all, Justin could only sympathize and wish there was a way for him to get home.

The Next Day.

The Cruiser finally approached their destination, Coruscant was a bustling metropolis, with air taxis and other speeders ferrying beings from skyscraper to skyscraper, which were themselves as large as cruisers.

"Welcome to Coruscant." Said Olie. "The entire planet is one big city, there's Chancellor Valorum's shuttle, and he's got Senator Palpatine with him!"

The Cruiser touched down on the landing platform, where Senator Palpatine was waiting for them, accompanied by Chancellor Valorum, and a contingent of senate guards, Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Anakin disembarked first, followed by the Power Rangers, than Jar Jar and R2, and finally the Queen and her contingent of handmaidens and Captain Panaka.

"Ah your Majesty." Said Palpatine. "It is so wonderful to see you alive and well, with the communications breakdown we'd feared the worst, may I present to you the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Finus, Valorum."

"Welcome your Highness." Said Valorum. "It's an honor to finally meet you at last."

"Thank you, Supreme Chancellor." Said the Queen.

"I must relay to you how distressed everyone is over the current situation." Valorum went on. "I've called for a special meeting of the senate to hear your plight."

"I'm grateful for your concern Chancellor." Said the Queen as she left with Senator Palpatine and the rest of the Naboo contingent to an assigned air taxi.

"There is a question of Procedure, but I'm confident we can overcome it." Said Palpatine.

Qui Gon, Obi Wan and the Power Rangers remained with Chancellor, Anakin looked back to them, but Qui Gon ushered him to join with the rest of the Naboo in the air taxi.

"I must speak with the Council immediately." Said Qui Gon. "And so do these people, the situation has become increasingly complicated."

"Hmm, strange new friends you have made Master Qui Gon."

The group looked and saw a small green alien creature, walking towards them.

"Master Yoda." Obi Wan greeted as he and Qui Gon bowed.

"We were not expecting you so soon." Said Qui Gon.

"Hmm, a great disturbance in the force I felt." Explained Yoda, as he took notice of the Power Rangers. "And might be, who are you?"

"I'm T.J. Johnson Master Yoda." Said T.J. "And we need your help if you can."
