The Rangers filed out of the TARDIS after finishing their conversation with the Doctor.
"So… What now?" Asked Justin.
"If Divatox is on Naboo, we need to face her." Said T.J. "And finally end this."
"I wish you luck in that." Said the Doctor, as he stepped out of the TARDIS to join them. "I'll stay behind and report to the Jedi Council."
At that moment, Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Anakin entered the room. "Rangers, It's time to go, we're on our way to Naboo."
"Good to know." Said T.J. "We'll meet you at the hanger."
Qui Gon nodded and left the Chamber with Anakin and Obi Wan, T.J. turned to the others.
"Well, this is it." He said. "Who's ready to shift into Turbo, one last time?"
Justin, Carlos, Ashley, Cassie and Alpha 6 put their hands out, with T.J. joining them in the center, with one last hurrah, they threw their hands in the air and left the chamber to join Qui Gon and Co.
"Godspeed children." Said the Doctor. "We'll meet again soon."
Later,
Soon the gang all met up at the Landing Platform, Panaka spoke with the guards while R2 and Jar Jar helped pack the luggage, The Queen and her Handmaidens approached the ship as Depa Billaba and the entrague of Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin, the Power Rangers and four other Jedi came up to them.
"Your Majesty." Said Master Billaba with a bow. "I am Jedi Master Depa Billaba of the Jedi Council, We are eager to assist you."
"Thank you Master Billaba." Said the Queen gratefully. "I welcome your help."
"It is an honor to continue to serve and protect you." Qui Gon added.
"And you can count on us." Said T.J. as his group came up.
"Thank you all." Said the Queen as they boarded the ship, Qui Gon almost boarded when Anakin spoke up.
"Qui Gon, I don't want to be a problem." He said.
"You won't be." Said Qui Gon kneeling down. "I may not be allowed to train you yet, so for now, just watch me and be mindful."
"Okay." Said Anakin. "I also heard the Council talk about Midi-chlorians, what are they?"
"Midi-Chlorians are microscopic lifeforms that reside within all living cells." Qui Gon explained. "The Higher the count, the more adapted in the force a lifeform becomes, without them, we would not be able to use the Force or have any knowledge of it."
"Do they speak to us?" Asked Anakin.
"And tell us the will of the force." Said Qui Gon. "Once you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you."
"That… sounds pretty contrived." Said Anakin.
"With time and training Anakin." Qui Gon said. "It will make more sense to you, now come, we're leaving now."
As they boarded the ship, The figure of a Muun watched them from a public observatory, he stood motionless, watching them through the stationary macrobinoculars, as they boarded and the starship took off, Plagueis closed his eyes and saw perplexing images through the force, and when he opened his eyes the Naboo ship was gone.
"This boy will change the course of history!" Thought Plagueis. "Unless… yes, Qui Gon is the key to everything!"
Meanwhile,
Back on Naboo, Gunray, Haako, Divatox and her minions were addressing Palpatine.
"We have taken over the last pockets of primitive life-forms." Gunray proclaimed proudly. "We now have complete control of the planet."
"Heh, and all too easy if you ask me." Said Divatox in a haughty manner.
Sidious shot her a look. "Don't gratify yourself Woman, You're henchman's unnecessary attempt on the Queen nearly upset my arrangements."
Eltar and Rygogg shuffled nervously.
"Other than that." Sidious went on. "Things are good and I will make sure that things in the Senate stay as they are."
"Ah, very good my lord." Gunray nodded vigorously. "Very Good, And rest assured, we will find the Queen soon.
"Sooner than you think, Viceroy." Said Sidious. "I'm sending my apprentice, Darth Maul, to join you, to serve as one of your commanders for the occupation."
Gunray's face fell. "I… yes, of course my lord." He replied. "It… shall be done."
And the Holo-Screen shut off.
"A Sith here?" Asked Hakoo in disbelief.
"Hmm, Could be beneficial." Said Proto. "The Sith were said to be great warriors."
"Ah who cares." Scoffed Divatox. "So long as he doesn't get in my way."
Meanwhile,
Up in space, The Naboo cruiser shot back into its home system.
"Those are the forward stabilizers." Said Ric Ollie to Anakin and Justin.
"And those two control the pitch." Said Anakin.
Ollie smiled. "You kids catch on pretty quick."
In the Throne room, Queen Amidala held a Council with the Jedi, The Older Power Rangers, Panaka and Jar Jar.
"If we land directly in theed, the Federation will arrest you and force you to sign the treaty." Said Panaka.
"We're not sure what you wish to accomplish." Said Master Billaba.
"I will take back what's ours, no matter the cost." Said the Queen determinedly.
"But there's not enough of us." Said T.J. "We'd need an army to take on the Space Pirates and the Federations Droids."
"Jar Jar Binks." Said the Queen, getting the Gungans attention.
"Mesa, your Highness?" Jar Jar asked.
"Yes, I have a job for you." Said the Queen.
Meanwhile,
The Scimitar touched down on the landing pad and Darth Maul went towards the Palace, where he was greeted by Proto and a squad of Battle Droids.
"Ah, Lord Maul." Proto greeted with a shake of his hand. "It is an honor to have you here."
"Do tell." Said the Sith Lord.
Later, Maul met with Gunray, Divatox and their lieutenants in the palace throne room.
"Several members of the queen's security force DID manage to escape our battle droids." Gunray explained. "They rescued a camp of Naboo citizens and caused us concern at one of the plasmic shipping sites, but luckily, Divatox and her Pirahnahtrons suppressed this."
"It was a nice playtime." Divatox boasted.
"Dead or imprisoned?" Asked Maul.
"The Captain is dead." Said Gunray. "But his allies are still at large."
Maul groaned. "And the gungans?"
"We've had skirmishes with them here and there." Said Divatox. "That OOM-9 guy has been looking for their cities."
"And besides." Added Haako. "The amphibian creatures would not risk engaging our overwhelming Force."
"The Gungans have a standing army, thousands strong and strategic plasma weaponry." Said Maul. "Of course they would risk engagement!"
"Oh, we didn't know that." Said Gunray.
"Now you do." Said Maul disdainfully.
"Well if the master strategist." Said Divatox. "Why don't you tell us how to find and fight these Gungans?"
"Why bother?" Asked Maul. "You already have you'r "Superior" predecessor of a Commander to these inept B1 Battle Droids handling that, you said so yourself."
"Now, Now!" Said Gurnay, breaking up the fight. "Let's not try and start something we might regret, perhaps, for the sake of your desired efficiency Lord Maul, we place a joint squad of Battle droids AND Pirahnahtrons under your Command, and you can take over the search, would that do?"
Maul said nothing, but simply nodded.
"Now hang on!" Protested Divatox. "The Parhnahtrons answer to me! He has no-ACK!"
Divatox clutched her throat as Maul held it with the Force. "I would hate for you to CHOKE, on your delusions of authority, "Your Majesty."
He then released Divatox, causing her to fall to her knees as he walked out of the room.
