CHAPTER SIX
Bullet Wounds Once Again

Anakin came running towards the group, "they're here!" He exclaimed.

    "Good. They made it." Padmé let out a sigh of relief.

    Tavia had a small smile on her face as she took out her knife.

    "Your Highness."

"What is the situation?" Padmé asked generally.

"Almost everyone's in camps. A few hundred police and guards have formed an underground resistance movement. I brought back as many of the leaders as I could. The Federation army's also much larger than we thought, and much stronger. Your Highness, this is a battle I do not think that we can win." Captain Panaka informed Padmé.

Padmé briefly looked at Tavia, silently asking if she thought they could get through this, to which Tavia nodded.

"The battle is a diversion. The Gungans must draw the droid army away from the cities. R2. We can enter the city using secret passages on the waterfall side. Once we get to the main entrance, Captain Panaka will create a diversion. Then we can enter the palace and capture the viceroy. Without the viceroy, they will be lost and confused. What do you think, Master Jedi, Scar, Tavia?" Padmé explained, and turned towards four.

Scar shrugged at first.

"It's a decent plan, the only problem is things can divert. Especially if they realise that the battle is a diversion, or if they call for more droids." Tavia reasoned.

"Fair enough." Padmé replied, understanding the perspective.

"The viceroy will be well-guarded." Qui-Gonn told her.

"The difficulty is getting into the throne room. Once we're inside, we shouldn't have a problem." Captain Panaka said.

"There is a possibility, with this diversion, many Gungans will be killed." Qui-Gonn warned the Boss Gungan.

"Wesa ready to do our-san part."

"We have a plan which should immobilise the droid army. We will send what pilots we have... to knock out the droid control ship orbiting the planet." Padmé explained furthermore.

"A well-conceived plan. However there's great risk. The weapons on your fighters may not penetrate the shields." Qui-Gonn responded.

"There's an even bigger danger. If the viceroy escapes, Your Highness, he will return with another droid army." Obi-Wan added.

"Well, that is why we must not fail to get the viceroy. Everything depends on it." Padmé replied to Obi-Wan, making Tavia and Scar both have proud looks on their faces.

R2 let out beeps and whistles.

While the Gungans were readying their diversion, Tavia stayed by herself. Scar and Obi-Wan were discussing how Scar should be careful.

Anakin's older brother, Lennox, walked over to Tavia. Tavia wasn't sure how she was supposed to react, so the two just awkwardly stood beside one another until Obi-Wan walked over, then Lennox found himself near Scar.
