Anuvuin: episode #22 Jar Jar Binks and The Republic Pilots
Part 2
Previously: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escaped from the Trade Federation Control Ship and were dropped off on Naboo while their ship went on to Coruscant to report to the Senate. Darth Sidious has sent out his Apprentice, Darth Maul. The Queen refused to sign the treaty, and the Naboo officials were being led away.
The battle droids again start leading the people to this Camp 4 thingy. At the same time as this, the Jedi are running from the huge Droids…and Droid Transports. Unfortunately, the Republic officials that had brought Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan could not be very selective of where they let the Jedi off on Naboo. They had to be fast in order to try to get past the blockade…they only hoped that the Trade Federation hadn’t noticed yet. Because of this, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were drooped off right at the scene of the other half of the droid army that had not taken the city. Anyway, as they were running, Qui-Gon came across a strange creature with floppy ears. Qui-Gon knew it would get killed if it stayed, but before he had time to think, the Gungan jumped on him. Obi-Wan saw this, and he grabbed qui-Gon’s hand just as he was going down. They ran into the woods with the Gungan. T hen the Gungan says, “messa named Jar Jar Binks.” Qui-Gong gave him a quick smile and acted as if he was going to leave JarJar. So Jar Jar says, “I know of someplace wesa can go. Tis a city. So JarJar took Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to the edge of a lake. Wesa going underwater. Tis an underwater city.” So Jar Jar jumps I, followed by Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. They all swim to the beautiful city that Jar Jar has told them about. Meanwhile, the Republic officials that had taken Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Naboo show up at the Senate. But just as they enter the area, 2 someone reach behind and restrain them, pulling them back into an area. They are dragged to an office. Palpatine releases them there, after locking the door. His helper quickly leaves out of sight. The 2 people stare at Palpatine in disgust. “You dirty…” Palpatine holds up his hand. “This is not what it looks like, my friend. I felt that it was in Naboo’s best interest to deal with this problem here. You see, you cannot take it to the Senate…if someone that works for the Trade Federation also works for the Senate, there could be trouble. Therefore, we must deal secretly.” “All right, you convinced us.” “Good, because it would be unfortunate if it were otherwise. What have you to tell me?” “The Trade Federation meant to kill the ambassadors. There seems to be an invasion of some kind…” “Did the Jedi survive?” “You know about hem? I thought that part was secret information.” Palpatine realized the ship, and tried to correct it. “Um, well the Supreme Chancellor told me. Remember, I am from that planet.” They nodded, then the second one says, “yes, they survived. We dropped them off on the actual Planet.” Palpatine seemed to be pondering something. The first one says, “There is something seriously wrong there. We should inform the Senate.” Palpatine nodded in agreement. “Yes, I’ll take care of that, don’t worry.” “Don’t you think they should hear it from us?” “That won’t be necessary. I’m sure that after I explain our circumstances, Chancellor Valorum will want Queen Amidala to come here. I assure you, that must be done…this situation is quite out of and. But the communications are shut down on planet. I really don’t know haw they’re going to contact them. You’re dismissed. I have the situation under control. One other thing, I advise you to kept this information confidential. It is to your advantage.” The pilots leave the building and report to the other Republic Pilots, not reporting anything about his incident. Back to Obi-Wan, qui-Gon, and Jar Jar Binks. Finally, they reach the wall of the main city bubble. They are able to pass through the walls, and there is no water inside. Jar Jar says, “One other thing. Yousa saved my life. That means I owe you a life debt. It is the law here.” Qui-Gon Jinn nods as a couple of Gungan guards head their way. Until next time!
