8 Chapter 8: Let the Battle Begin
I felt the Droids marching through the city, I could feel everything about them, how they worked, how I could upgrade them and even turn them to my side. But I resisted taking them to my side, the queen needed this Invasion to grow and get that thought out that they could survive without a Defense force, that the Republic and senate isn't corrupt. She needed to grow up, and the Jedi needed to know of the Sith and Anakin needed to be freed by Qui-Gon. I couldn't do everything for them thats not the reason why I'm here.
Soon they were near the Doors that lead in the Palace and making short process of them.
Now they where standing in front of me Blasters ready to shot. I didn't lead them I immediately electrocuted them, destroying them in the process. ‚Thats the first batch' I thought seeing immediately the next one arriving.
This time I used the force to crush them. It was truly an incredible feeling, crushing them like ants.
The next batch i floated into the air with telekinesis and smashing them back to the ground, destroying them.
And so passed the time, one droid destroyed after the other. Until it hit the 15 minutes mark, where my MP was pretty low.
[MP: 57%]
I decided to retreat to the throne room after I destroyed this batch.
I used the Destroyed droids to temporarily block the Doorway, but not before adding 10 B-1 Battledroids to my Inventory. I have a feeling I will need them.
Back at the Throne Room
„Lian how are you?" Padme asked me worried.
„I'm fine, a little drained. The droids will be here every minute now, so be ready." I stated
„And the Jedi?" Questioned Captain Panaka.
„In a few minutes" I answered. I turned to Padme again and said „remain behind me so I can defend you until the Jedi come".
She nodded. I turned to HK and my other Droids „HK defend Padme with everything you got"
„I understand Master, I will defend this Meatsa.. I mean Padme with my life"
„Save You and me will switch Places" Padme ordered Sabe, while undressing. We quickly looked away. Once sabe and Padme switched places the droids arrived and opened fire.
I reflected Blaster bolds with my Electroblade and gunned multiple droids down with my blaster. After five minutes the Jedi arrived.
You could see a streak of blue and green destroying one droid after the other, they spoke.
„I am Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and this is my Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, we are the ambassadors that the Chancellor had sent."
„it seems the negotiations had failed" Panaka stated.
„They didn't even began" stated Obi-Wan
While they talked I walked around healing the injured. This caused Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to look at me in surprise.
I ignored them and walked to stand next to Sabe with Padme right behind me. They looked surprised and I could clearly sense what they were thinking, they clearly thought I was a Jedi here to protect the Queen they weren't told of and one they had never seen before. Someone as young and powerful as me should be well known within the Order.
I could feel them examining me with the Force, and i relished in their surprised looks. They couldn't feel the light or the dark side around me, only the pure feeling of the Force.
Qui-Gon spoke ignoring me for the moment and spoke „We should contact the Republic and report this as soon as we can" while Obi-Wan is still starring at me.
„They're blocking all communications and transmissions" said captain Panaka
„Master, we will have to take a ship off world" Obi-Wan suggested quickly.
„The Hanger is nearby but we will likely meet heavy resistance" Sabe said
„Nothing we cannot handle your highness" Obi-Wan spoke with smugness in his Voice.
„Overconfidence leads to a heavy downfall, Padawan" I spoke to Obi-WAN who looked slightly irritated.
„This way" captain Panaka said opening up a side entrance. Quickly we moved towards the hanger, I made sure to keep Padme behind me at all times. Qui-Gon quickly positioned himself beside me, he seemed like he wanted to ask me something.
„Hello there, I couldn't help but wonder who you are. I wasn't aware of a Jedi being stationed here to Guard the Queen?" he asked with a smile.
„I'm not a Jedi, but I am a force-user" I answered.
„Who is your Master?" Qui-Gon asked curios if a Jedi trained me.
„No one, the Force teaches me"
„Hmm I was sure you were a part of the order or that a Jedi trained you" Qui-Gon said
„How so?" I asked curiosly.
„Because your quit strong my friend" Qui-Gon spoke.
„Master" Obi-Wan called Qui-Gon over when we reached the Hanger.
„We need to free those Pilots" Captain Panaka.
„We will handle it" Obi-Wan spoke before running to the droids destroying one after the other with great agrobatics.
„Come on" I waved to the Captain and the others as we rushed to the ship, the Pilots close behind.
We quickly boarded the ship, I looked around with fascination, I never was inside a Space Ship. I closed my eyes feeling everything in the Ship with Mechu-Deru, I felt the wires and all the other components of the ship. It was a good ship, well maintained and with only a few minor flaws that only would mildly Impact the ships performance. Only someone with Mechu-Deru would notice those flaws and could improve them.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan began to stare at me, they could obviously feel my use of the force spreading across the ship, I wasn't sure if they knew of Mechu-Deru or not but hey couldn't feel something dark about it so they kept silent.
The ship took of towards the blockade and as per canon we were hit. I took the time while this was happening as in canon to look at the Messages I received.
