Ruthless | Anakin Skywalker

I-II

      Naboo was beautiful. The fresh crisp air finally hit me. I was too panicked before to notice the air and how it was much cleaner than the air in Coruscant. The city planet was full of smog and hardly any plant life. Although that planet was my home I felt my preference shift towards this planet.  Here, the gardens were beautiful full of blooming flowers in all sorts of colors. This beauty easily beat Corosaunt's grey buildings covering its entire surface. Corosaunt was only beautiful at night, but I could  tell this planet was beautiful night and day. This planet felt pure. The life flowing here made me feel relaxed until I heard Droids. 

      We quickly moved to the shadows Qui Gon taking the lead and Obi Won and I behind him. We spotted the queen, her handmaidens, along with the governor being lead by battle droids. We quickly dashed to a bridge that was in front of them then jumped down in their path.

      The dismantling of the droids was short, a strike here and there. I started to understand why droid armies were inferior to real armies. Droids were easy to cut down only being programed from one computer and unable to defend themselves. I looked towards the Queen who was dressed in an elaborate black outfit with her face painted in makeup displaying Naboo tradition. I snapped my attention back Qui Gon.

"We should leave the streets, your highness," everyone agreed and the Guards grabbed the defeated Droids' weapons. 

"Woah. Yousa guys bombad," Jar Jar exclaimed. The Naboo Guards, Handmaidens, and other important figures agreed and I felt proud. I felt myself stand a little taller, we were saving them after all. 

"We're the Ambassadors, for the Supreme Chancellor," Qui Gon told them once he realized he never did any formalities.

"It seems your negotiations have failed, Ambassador," the Governor asserted, stopping the group.

"The negotiations never took place," the Governor looked back at the Queen worried, "that is why it is urgent that we contact Coruscant," Master urged.

"Our communications have been knocked out" the Captain informed. We glanced up when the hum of a ship was heard. An idea popped in my head and Qui Gon had the same idea.

"Do you have transports?" Master asked looking back to the Captain.

"In the main hanger. This way."  He took off down an alleyway and we all ran to follow. A loud siren started to go off alerting all Droids that we had escaped. We eventually made it to the hanger and we cracked open the door. Master Qui Gon looked in before I did. I saw several Droids guarding a spacecraft while another pocket of Droids were holding a dozen Naboo Pilots hostage. I turned back to Obi Wan and Qui Gon to hear the plan

"There are too many of them," the Captain told us. I smirked knowing that was false.

"That won't be a problem," he turned to the Queen, "Your Highness, under the circumstances, I suggest you come to Coruscant with us."

"Thank you, Ambassador, but my place is here with my people," I raised my eyebrows surprised. Not many Monarchs would say something like that. I gave her a little bit more of my respect in that moment.

"They will kill you if you stay," Master advised. I could feel their desire to kill her too.

"They wouldn't dare," the Governor snapped looking at Master like he was insane.

"They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of theirs legal. They can't afford to kill her," the Captain added. I pondered this, but I knew they would find a way to kill her. She obviously cared for her people and maybe they'd find out they were her weakness. My heart hurt for the people of Naboo. I knew leaving here would leave them defenseless without their leader. I put on my best pokerface, that meant we had to get her to Corusaunt as soon as possible. It was their only hope.
