Theed 2

Queen Amidala, an old guy whose name I forgot, and five of her handmaidens are surrounded by twenty droids. Captain Panaka andfour Naboo guards are also held at gunpoint. Nute and another Neimoidian stand in the middle of the room.

Old guy: "...how will you explain this invasion to the senate?"

Nute: "Naboo and the federation will forge a treaty that will legitimize our occupation here. I've been assured it will be ratified by the senate."

Amidala: "I will not co-operate."

Nute: "Now, now, your highness. You are not going to like what we have in store for your people. in time, their suffering will persuade you to see our point of view. Commander! (oom-9 steps forward) Process them. "

OOM-9: "Yes, sir! (turns to his sergeant) take them to camp four."

The sergeant marches the group out of the throne room.

Queen Amidala, Padme (lol), the other four handmaidens, Captain Panaka, the old guy, and four guards are led out of the palace by ten battle droids. The plaza is filled with tanks and battle droids, which they pass on their way to the detention camp. Unbeknownst to them, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Jar-Jar, and Acedia sneak across a walkway above the plaza. The Jedi jump from a balcony to begin an attack to rescue the queen.

Four battle droids are instantly cut down. More droids move forward and are also cut down by the jedis' flashing lightsabres until there is only the Droid sergeant left. The sergeant starts to run but then Acedia jumps from the balcony and gives the droid a 360° headshot.

Jar-Jar: "Yousa guy, bombad!"

Queen Amidala and the others are amazed and Jar-Jar is slowly getting used to this. They move between two buildings.

Qui-Gon: Your highness, we are the ambassadors, from the supreme

chancellor.

Old Guy: "Your negotiations seem to have failed, ambassador."

Qui-Gon: "The negotiations never took place. Your highness, we must makecontact with the republic."

Captain Panaka steps forward.

Capt. Panaka: "They've knocked out all our communications."

Qui-Gon: "Do you have transport?"

Capt. panaka: "In the main hanger. This way."

They disappear down an alleyway as the alarms are sounded

They run for a while until they reach the hanger.

Captain Panaka cracks open a side door to the central hanger. Qui-Gon looks over his shoulder. Obi-Wan, Jar-Jar, Acedia, and the rest of the group are behind him. They see several Naboo spacecraft guarded by about fifty battle droids. Alarms can be heard in the distance.

Capt. Panaka: "There are too many of them."

Acedia: "That won't be a problem."

Qui-Gon: "Your highness, under the circumstances, I suggest you come to Coruscant with us."

Amidala: "Thank you, ambassador, but my place is here with my people."

Qui-Gon: "They will kill you if you stay."

bibble: "They wouldn't dare."

Capt. panaka: "They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of

theirs legal. They can't afford to kill her."

Qui-Gon: "The situation here is not what it seems. There is something else

behind all this, your highness. There is no logic in the federation's move

here. My feelings tell me they will destroy you."

bibble: "Please, your highness, reconsider. Our only hope is for the Senate

to side with us... senator Palpatine will need your help."

Capt. Panaka: "Getting past their blockade is impossible, your highness.

Any attempt to escape will be dangerous."

bibble: "Your highness, I will stay here and do what I can...they will have

to retain the council of governors to maintain control. But you must leave..."

The queen turns to Padme

Amidala: "Either choice presents a great risk...to all of us..."

Padme: "We are brave, your highness."

Qui-Gon: "If you are to leave, your highness, it must be now."

Amidala: "Then, I will plead our case before the senate."

The door opens to the main hanger. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Acedia, Jar-Jar, Captain Panaka, two guards, and three handmaidens, followed by queen Amidala, head for a sleek chrome spacecraft.

Capt. panaka: "We need to free those pilots."

Captain Panaka points to twenty guards, ground crew, and pilots held in a

corner by six battle droids.

Acedia: "I'll take care of that. Acedia heads toward the group of

captured pilots."

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and the queen, Captain Panaka, Jar-Jar, and the rest of the group approach the guards at the ramp of the Naboo craft.

Guard droid: "Where are you going?"

Qui-Gon: "I'm an ambassador for the supreme chancellor, and I'm taking thosepeople to Coruscant."

Droid guard: "You're under arrest!"

The droid guard draws his weapon, but before any of the droids can fire,

they are cut down. Other guards run to their aid. Acedia attacks the

guards around the pilots. Qui-Gon stands, fighting off droids as the others

rush onboard the spacecraft. Acedia, the freed pilots, guards, and ground crew members rush onboard the ship. After everyone has made it onto the ship, Qui-Gon jumps on board. Alarms sound. More droids rush into the hanger and fire as the ship takes off. The droids though were already too late.

The sleek spacecraft speeds away from the planet of Naboo and heads for the deadly federation blockade.

The pilot, Ric Olie (i googled it lol), navigates toward the massive battleship, Qui-Gon and Captain Panaka watch.

Ric Olie : "....our communications are still jammed."

Then the ship got hit. The immeadiatley send out the Astro Mechs to repair the Ship. A lot of Astro Mechs die, but it was a sacrifice they were willing to make.

Ric olie: "Powers back! That little droid did it. He bypassed the main power drive. Deflector shields up, at maximum."

The lone blue droid finishes his repairs and goes back into the ship. The Naboo spacecraft races away from the Federation battleship.

Ric Olie: "There's not enough power to get us to coruscant...the hyperdrive is leaking."

Qui-Gon: "We'll have to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship."

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan start studying a star map, while Acedia put his hands without anyone noticing inside a small portal. This Portal lead to his pub. He then proceeded to conjure a strawberry milkshake. Takes it with his hands out of the portal and start drinking it.

Obi-Wan: here, master. Tatooine... it's small, out of the way, poor... the

trade federation has no presence there.

Capt. Panaka: "How can you be sure?"

Qui-Gon: "It's controlled by the Hutts..."

Capt. Panaka: "The Hutts??"

Obi-Wan: "It's risky...but there's no alternative."

Capt. Panaka: "You can't take her royal highness there! The Hutts are

gangsters... if they discovered her..."

One could hear that slurping sound of an empty milkshake. Everyone turns around and sees a chilling Acedia who lays on a couch sipping on his empty milkshake to get the last drops.

Qui-Gon resumes the conversation: "...It would be no different than if we landed on a system controlled by the federation...except the Hutts aren't looking for her, which gives us an advantage."

Captain Panaka takes a deep breath in frustration.

Meanwhile on Nuts side. I mean nute...wanna hear a joke about nuts?

Which type of nut goes to outer space?

An astro-nut.

Nute sits at a conference table with a hologram of Darth

Sidious.

Nute: "We control all the cities in the north and are searching for any

other settlements..."

Darth Sidious: "Destroy all high-ranking officials, Viceroy...slowly...quietly and Queen Amidala, has she signed the treaty?"

Nute: "She has disappeared, my lord. One Naboo cruiser got past the

blockade."

Darth Sidious: "Viceroy, find her! I want that treaty signed."

Nute: "My lord, it's impossible to locate the ship. It's out of our range."

Darth Sidious: "...Not for a sith... a second sith lord appears behind Darth Sidious."

Darth Sidious:"...Viceroy, this is my apprentice. Lord maul. He will find your lost ship."

Nute: "Yes, my lord. The hologram fades off."

Nute: "This is getting out of hand...now there are two of them."
