Chapter 65: Duel of the Fates Part 1

INT. REPUBLIC CRUISER (FLAGSHIP) BRIDGE - SPACE

PADME, the real QUEEN of NABOO and now elected as Supreme Chancellor carries a heavy burden on her shoulders for a young girl of her age.

SABE her loyal friend and bodyguard had gone along with CAPTAIN PANAKA, OBI-WAN, QUI-GON and ANAKIN along with a dozen guards to infiltrate and capture NUTE GUNRAY in order to end this conflict before it could escalate any further than it already has.

PADME still being the young, innocent and naive girl she is, had hoped that their would be no bloodshed in this conflict.

But that was he own personal inner demons she had tried to fight against, while she had trained in combat partially, she had yet to take a life which frightened her a little.

But as the sole and rolling Monarch of Naboo, and now as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Grand Senate.

She had to think about those under her, those that her decisions and actions made with the authority of her new office had given her.

And so to have the same naive mindset she had before the Federation Blockade has to be put aside for the greater good for her people.

As such she needed to switch places with SABE and take on the role as QUEEN herself once more, as a ruler and one to make the choices and decisions only she could make.

Thus, with her new power she had, while within the boundaries of Republic Law, sent a small military Republic fleet to Naboo.

Should the Federation Blockade "exist" as certain parties of The Senate says, then the outcome will be rather obvious.

However, if the Blockade and her claims of the Federation invading Naboo illegally be proven true, then the Federation will pay for their crimes and the Republic fleet she is leading will attack and force the Federation's surrender and free the occupied planet of their control.

Right now she was at the Bridge of a Republic Flagship, overseeing the battle that had begun moments ago in Space.

INT. THEED - CENTRAL HANGER - DAY

ALARMS ARE SOUNDING a SABE, the JEDI, ANAKIN, EIRTAE, and CAPTAIN PANAKA and his TROOPS rush into the hanger.

They had been able to fly past the Blockade in a ship that had Cerberus Corporation modified stealth tech.

They freed the capture PILOTS and defended them s they git to their ships so that they could flank the Federation Control Ship's forces in Space from the rear in order to support the assault being carried out by the Republic Fleet.

BATTLE DROIDS begin firing at them as they run for cover.

The JEDI and ANAKIN began deflecting bolts aimed at SABE, who they had mistakenly been confused to be the QUEEN as she had her makeup and attire on, back onto the BATTLE DROIDS, causing them to EXPLODE.

*****************************************

INT. THEED - PALACE THRONE ROOM - DAY

NUTE, RUNE, and FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS watch the plaza battle on a large view screen.

NUTE : I thought the battle was going to take place far from here...this is too close!

RUNE : What is going on? DARTH MAUL enters the throne room.

DARTH MAUL : I told you there was more to this...the Jedi are involved.

(A/n This scene is cannon from the original script but cut from the movie)

*****************************************

INT. THEED - CENTRAL HANGER - DAY

CAPTAIN PANAKA, SABE and NABOO TROOPS rush into the hanger and overwhelm the few remaining BATTLE DROIDS.

ANAKIN and SABE give each other a small smile as ANAKIN had been mostly defending SABE throughout the battle.

She didn't need protection in such a low level skirmish as this, but still appreciated it from her friend as the two had come to known each other over the time ANAKIN first arrived at the Palace and became PADME's Bodyguard.

She smirked as she recalled how ANAKIN not so subtly tried asking what PADME liked and didn't like, she found it adorable since PADME had done the same thing and asked her what ANAKIN liked. She felt like a third wheel now.

Coming back to reality she focused on the current situation.

SABE, ANAKIN, OBI-WAN, and QUI-GON join forces with CAPTAIN PANAKA.

SABE: My guess is the Viceroy is in the throne room.

She looks to QUI-GON.

QUI-GON : I agree.

They start to head for the exit, as they are about to go through the door, suddenly everyone scatters, revealing DARTH MAUL standing in the doorway.

CAPTAIN PANAKA, SABE, and the TROOPS back away.

QUI-GON, OBI-WAN and ANAKIN steped forward.

But just then another figure emerged from around the corner of one of the pillars.

"You and I still have a match to finish." The female Mandalorian armoured Togruta said while pointing to ANAKIN.

ANAKIN knew that this was AHSOKA under her disguise as the Bounty Hunter FULCRUM

QUI-GON : We'll handle this...

ANAKIN hummed and chased after FULCRUM as the two began their Lightsaber duel.

The TWO JEDI that were left take off their capes and ignite their Lightsaber.

DARTH MAUL takes off his cape, and ignites his Lightsaber.

Both ends of the Lightsaber ignites with energy in the colour of Crimson Blood.

At the far end of the hanger, SIX WHEEL DROIDS roll in and transform into their battle position as they began firing at SABE and the others.

The JEDI began their fight with the Sith Lord.

The JEDI engaged in a fierce duel with DARTH MAUL.

The JEDI would try to cover one another as one used offence while the Padawan OBI-WAN would use Form 3 which he specialises in to defend and counter attack MAUL's attacks.

MAUL would strike back against the JEDI while cleverly backing up away from the two warriors of Light.

In a duel against multiple opponents it is wise to keep both within your range of sight and keep distance between you and the opponets as to not get pressured and overwhelmed by them.

At first this is what they did, but MAUL would take the advantage and attain distance between them as he cartwheels backwards while spinning his Lightsaber as to force the JEDI'S offence to cease.

Just as he had planned they have moved into the center of the hanger and where nearing the doorway more and more to the Reactor Room where Fate would once again loom over their heads as their Duel continued on.

While the WHEEL DROIDS are momentarily distracted by CAPTAIN PANAKA and HIS TROOPS exit into a palace hallway, ANAKIN meanwhile had engaged in "fight" against FULCRUM (Ahsoka) down the corridors of the Palace.

The SITH LORD's moves are incredible.

He is fighting the TWO JEDI at once, flipping into the air, outmaneuvering them at every turn.

The SITH LORD drives the JEDI out of the hanger and into the power generator area next door.

INT. THE ICARUS - ADRIAN'S BEDROOM

Meanwhile, a armoured man with a blue draconic tail and ivory horns got up from off the bed.

AVA: Where are you going?

ADRIAN: I need to keep a promise to that witch, when I get back ill be taking you back to her so we can find out what had happened to you recently.

AVA: Witch?....oh! You mean Talzin don't you? When does she become the Mother of the Nightsister clan? I forgot.

ADRIAN: Of course you forgot...she is currently an Elder of the Clan, and will become the next Mother shortly before the Clone Wars begins.

AVA: Ohh, OK. Also what is this promise about? Your going to save her son Maul aren't you?

ADRIAN: You'll find out, and no, it's not about saving Maul.
