Anuvuin: episode #23 The Gungan City and escape to the Ships
Part 2
Previously: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have now met up with Jar Jar Binks. Palpatine and unnamed other person (if you can’t guess who it is, you’ll find out later) have made sure that the Republic pilots do not tell the Supreme chancellor about the Invasion. Palpatine says he’ll do it himself. We’ll get back to this subject later.
“One other thing, yousa saved my life. That means I owes you a life debt. It is the law here.” Qui-Gon Jinn nods as a couple of Gungan guards head their way. One of them approaches Jar Jar on a weird king of animal (no, it’s to a Bantha), “Jar Jar, yousa in big trouble this time.” One of them pokes him with a stick. “Won! How rude!” Says Jar Jar. The guards ignore him as qui-Gon steps forward. “WE need your help.” The second guard says, “yous going to the Boss.” The guards led Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Jar Jar to Boss Nass’ throne. Qui-Gon says, “The Naboo are in a lot of trouble. We need your help.” “Mesas not care about the Naboo…they the ink their heads so big…” Obi-wan an steps forward, “but you are connected. What happens to one affects the other. You must understand this.” But Boss Nass is still not swayed. Qui-Gon's sees that talk isn’t going to work, or that they’ll get any help form him. “Maybe he has a weak mind, “ the thinks. So, Qui-Gon says, “Thanks for your time. We need some kind of transport to get us tout her.” It works, and Boss Nass says, “all right, you can take a bongo through the planet core. Its’ the fastest way to the Naboo.” Qui-Gon gives him a little smile. “Thank you.” Then Obi-Wan says, “How are we going to get through? WE need some kind of navigator.” Qui-Gon nods in agreement, remembering something. “I saved Jar Jar Binks’s life. He owes we what you call a life debt.” Boss Nass says, “Fine, take him.” Sot the 3 of them set off together for the planet core. They run into some big monsters, but get away. (I’m leaving those details out.) Finally they reach the surface of the water. All there jump out in search of Queen Amidala and her people. (I suppose I’ll have to have the Padmé thing in, I was originally going to leave that part out, but okay, I’m not going to.) Anyway, remember, those people are being led away by the battle droids. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan can hear the battle droid moving. They move in for a closer view. “Master, I think that’s them<’ says Obi-Wan. “This way,” his master says in reply. They jump down, activating their lightsabers as they go down. Obi-Wan and his master slash trough the droids and kill off ever one of them. Then Qui-Gon says, “We’re the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor.” Panaka says, “Your negotiations seem to have failed.” “The negotiation never took place. They tried killing us. We have to contact the Republic.” “They’ve cut down all our communication systems. S” qui-Gon nods. “Well have to go to Coruscant then.” Captain Panaka stares at Qui-Gon, “that’ll be dangerous.” Queen Amidala looks to her handmaiden (the Queen’s protectors) Padmé. “We are brave, your highness.” So Amidala says, “all right, I’ll plead our case to the Senate.” Panaka says, “There’s a few ships…this way!” So they run to the ships. “We’ll have to free that pilot over there.” (He points to a pilot being held captive by battle droids.) “I’ll take care of that,” says Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon nods as he approaches a ship. A battle droid stops him. “I’m taking this people to Coruscant,” says qui-Gon. “Where are you taking them?” “To Coruscant.” “That doesn’t compute. You’re under arrest.” The battle droids starts to fire the gun, but Qui-Gon slashes through it, Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is attacking the battle droids holding the pilot Ric Olie. Obi-Wan manages to destroy all of them. Ric runs over to his ship. (The one Qui-Gon and ante rest of the are at.) T hey all bard, an after destroying the rest of the droids. There is one droid that’s still walking on its’ legs, but the rest of it is destroyed. Obi-Wan almost laughs, and would have if they didn’t have the blockade to get past. Until next time!
