Courage of the heart

Chapter seven

Oren , Qui-gon, Obi wan and Jar Jar walked across a terrace towards the distant royal palace Oren could see the waterfall of Theed sparkle in the noonday sun it really was something to see " Oren keep up " qui-gon called back to him Oren turned and walked on he had a feeling that nabbo was going to be in his future for a while.

Ariyah was next to the queen who walked with the governor the other handmaiden and Inna and Affra where behide them Padme included as they had chosen Sabe to be Padme decoy ariyah looked around as they were surrounded by five battle droids.Nute and Rune came down and joined them
" we bought you out of your chamber for purpose your highness " Nute said " I was not bought out this is my palace I do not recognize your authority " Amidala said  Ariyah feelt a touch of reef Sabe really did now how to pull of padme and Ariyah was grateful for that she turned her attention back to the matter " it bad enough that you cut off our communication , bad enough that you pretend that this blockade is legal But landing an army and occupying  our cities ?!? How will you explain this invasion to the senate ?" Bibble asked " The queen and I will sign a treaty that would legalize our occupation here " Nute said Ariyah felt her hand ball into fist as bite went on how was it possible that they would allow this to happen it was an act of war. " I will not cooperate " amidala said firmly Ariyah had to smile nute said something to the queen then proceeded a commander to take them away but that wasn't before Ariyah could see his smug face .
Fear and dead courses though Ariyah vains almost like she had been dumped in cold water over her she took a deep breath as she walked on .
As the group walked something jumped from above Ariyah Herat gave a limp of something she wasn't  sure if it was joy or fear or maybe it was relief as she watched the droids go down she watched in amazement as the sergeant tried to make a run for it Ariyah looked on as one of them pulled the droid back and then was dispatched.
" yousa guys bombad " a voice said as they kept on looking in amazement Ariyah had to smile at the and swallow her sudden urge to laugh at the creature
A gun-gan she only head of them in stories never met one in person before . " we should leave " she head one of them say and as she got a good look at them she saw that to of them where younger then the one who talked out of the Connor of her eye she the queen nodded her head. There we're off again in to an alley in between two buildings.
As they stop the older one turned to the group" your highness I am Qui-gon Jinn these are my companions Obi-wan Kenobi and Oren Jobe we are Jedi Knights and Ambassadors for the supreme Chancellor " he said " your negotiations seemed to failed Ambassador " Bibble said Ariyah could hear the sourness In him she cringes she could see Bibble point of view but the Ambassadors must have had a reason for the negotiations not to have happened as soon as Ariyah thought it Qui-gon spoke " the negotiations never took place " Bibble look like he didn't believe him but Ariyah did that was why there was the occupation come not that she blamed the Jedi she couldn't imagine it was easy for them to have be there though watching them fight in outside she was sure that nothing was to hard for them. Qui-gon turned his attention to amidala " Your highness it is urgent that we contact the Republic"
" they have knocked out of all  of  our communication " Bibble told the Jedi " do you have transportation?" Qui-gon asked captain Panaka answered " in the main hanger this way" he lead them to the main hanger but for the way things were going Ariyah  wasn't sure so sure that it would be easy.
And she was right when the group got to the main hanger qui-gon looked out and over the wall with the rest of them looking from behind. Ariyah shook her head as she saw many of nabbos space craft being guarded by droids. She could hear the alarms going off in the distance captain Panaka pointed to a ship " the queens personal transport " he told them " that would do " qui -gon said " there are to many of them " that won't be a problem " he told the captain he addressed the queen " your highness under the circumstance I suggest you come to Consonant with us" " thank you ambassador but my place in her with my people" Amidala said " they will kill you if you stay " Qui-gon said Ariyah gasped they won't would they she remembered Nute smug face as he had them take them away Bibble and Panaka were as shocked as she was " they wouldn't dare " Bibble said " they need her to sign a treaty to make this occupation illegal they wouldn't dare kill her " Captain Panaka said " the situation is not what it seem there is no logic to the federation move here my feeling tell me that they would distort you " qui-gon said  and ariyah know that he was telling the truth " The Jedi knight is right your highness " Ariyah said speaking up " I don't  think they would hesitate to remove you from the throne and put a new ruler  your highness " she said she knew Sabe   would listen to her  she would see reason  to leave " your highness perhaps there are right and you should reconsider our only hope is that the senate to side with us senator Palatine will need your help " Bibble said " getting pass the blockade is impossible your highness Evan if we make off planet Any attempt to escape will be dangerous " the captain said
" your highness I will stay here and do what I can do they will have to retain the council of governors to maintain even a semblance of law and Oder but you must Leave " Bibble said the queen turned to her and Padme  who had come to stand next to her she said something and Padme responded " we are brave your highness " ariyah smiled " and courageous" she added they had to be
