Star Wars: Anakin Si c6

Anakin?” Qui Gon Jinn was surprised to see Anakin in the residence of Naboo’s Senator. The Jedi Master thought the boy had sneaked off to some random place on Coruscant to get some stuff with all the money he was carrying.

“I will be going back with the Queen to Naboo.” The boy said that as he looked at Padme.

“...” The Queen didn't say anything.

“I assume your plan to ask for help didn't work?” He commented on the aura he was sensing from the Queen; she was angry but was not showing it.

“...Yes. The Senate is going to create an investigation committee. It will take days, if not weeks. They want to debate; the Trade Federation is blocking us at every corner.”

The more she spoke, the angrier she was.

“And the Jedi?”

“We can't interfere in force as no actual fighting is happening.” The Jedi Master said with an ashamed frown.

“...Nice. So the Sith got you in a nice pickle.”

“...Anakin! This is serious!” Padme almost snapped at him. But the Chosen One ignored her outburst.

“And I am serious. You are dealing with years of preparation. You won't simply solve this with the help of the Republic. This situation was explicitly prepared to show Jedi and Republic incompetence.”

“...By the Sith?” Obi-Wan couldn't believe someone went so deep with such manipulations.

“Who else wants you gone?”

“...Right, but you revealed Sheev Palpatine's identity!”

“My actions have inevitable consequences. He might not be in Coruscant anymore, but they will target the Republic's integrity now.”

“...Are you certain?”

“That's where they did the most work.” Anakin got up from the couch and stretched out.

“They corrupted the system for hundreds of years. Now, it's time to reveal it to everyone. Neglected star systems will flock to their banner.

Your order should prepare for a war. The Sith won't be happy that I revealed their plot.”

“...Aren’t you in danger as well!?” Padme pointed out as she listened to the conversation.

“In a way. But it will take a while for the pair of Sith Lords to find where I am.” He replied to her question before expanding on it.

“For now, I will come with you; I will assist in lifting the blockade.”

“...!!!”

“You will?”

“Indeed. I will come with you to Naboo. I think we wasted enough time here.”

To his words, Padme looked at Qin-Gon Jinn. The Jedi Master simply shrugged at her.

“We are your bodyguards, Your Highness. If you go back to Naboo, so will we.” However, Qui-Gon Jinn said that his Padawan facepalmed!

Their mission was to keep the Queen safe and away from danger! This is opposite to what Grandmaster Yoda commanded!

“Great! Then we are leaving!”

~~~

Anakin’s action has sent massive ripples through the Galaxy. Even though he was only in Coruscant, it has affected everything.

The pair of Sith have left the Capital World and retreated to Darth Plagueis’ moon world of Sojourn in the Outer Rim. The place is a retreat place for the Muun Dark Lord.

“Our plans are not as ruined as one thinks, Sidious.” The tall Muun Sith said with a smooth voice.

“Your position isn't as compromised as one thinks. People of the Republic have no understanding of what is a Sith Lord. It's not a crime to be a Sith Lord.”

The Dark Lord smiled wickedly.

“If one can't take over from inside, we can break it apart and take it over piece by piece.

And unlike the Republic, we can get an army very quickly.”

“...Yes, Master. I understand. I thought the same thing: Techno union, Trade Federation, the Banking Clans. All of them want to do business.

And what could be more profitable than a conflict the size of the whole Galaxy?”

Darth Sidious already started to think of ways to get this done.

He might lose his position, which he is furious about. Revenge will be sweet! Especially Revenge of the Sith!

The Dark Lord will rip the Republic apart. But first, he needs to smear and destroy the reputation of the Jedi! His alliance of Senators is enormous.

He will use all of his connections to make Jedi the outcasts of the Republic!

A sadistic grin appeared on the Sith’s face. Time to make them regret it!

“And that boy. Who is he, Master?”

“Anakin Skywalker, the supposed Chosen One.”

“...Interesting…”

“His journey I shall watch with interest.” The Dark Lord of the Sith said with a curious tone. The Lord is thinking about how to corrupt the great ‘Chosen One’.

Darth Plagueis was thinking the same thing. Both of them are thinking of taking the boy as their apprentice.

The Muun will replace Sidious, while Sidious considers taking him as Apprentice once he kills his Master.

Betrayal is always on their mind; that's the Sith way.

~~~

The Naboo chrome starship exited Hyperspace and advanced towards the planet before them.

The world was beautifully green and blue; instead of Oceans and Seas, it had many inland swamps and lakes, making the ratio of land to water almost 50-50 from the looks of it.

At least, that's what it looked like to Anakin.

“That's their ship. A Lucrehulk class cargo freighter retrofitted to work like a battleship. Its sheer size alone can blockade the whole planet.” The pilot of the Naboo starship said to everyone.

“Yeah, those Vulture droids are coming,” Anakin said with a smile as he looked at the ship.

The ship he plans to relinquish from those bug people won't need it anymore, and besides, this massive thing is something that he needs to get his hands on.

To rebuild Starforge, he will need the resources; this thing can carry tons of those!

“Incoming! That's a whole squad.”

“I will take care of them; you just focus on getting us on the planet.”

As Anakin said that, he got on the floor cross-legged and started to meditate.

The pilot looked confused, but the Master Jedi quickly intercepted the pilot before he could ask.

“Just do what he tells you.”

“...R-Right…”

As the Vulture droids approached, their speeds slowed as if someone had grabbed them until they stopped altogether.

The pilot noticed that, so he quickly passed the squad of fighter droids and entered the atmosphere of Naboo.

The ship landed in a swampy area around a massive lake. This was the part where the useless Jar Jar Binks was not so useless anymore.

He, alongside the Jedi, went to gather the Gungan Army.

Anakin soon enough noticed that Padme had gotten out of her regal dress and switched to her Handmaiden clothes.

“Oh, does this mean I can tease Sabe now?” The boy sitting on the starship’s hull got the attention of the disguised Queen.

The Naboo native raised her head and looked at him. She noticed his teasing smile.

“...No. Don't do that. That would destroy the whole idea of a double!” The Queen internally was annoyed at how easily they saw through her disguise! They spend days practising the acts!

“...Fine. I can sense your agitation.”

“...Do you sense what is happening in the capital?” She asked him curiously.

“Do you want to know?”

“Can you tell?”

“I can.”

Anakin looked towards the direction of the capital. He closed his eyes and focused on people in the city.

“The conquerors are nervous. Well, Neimoidians are always cowards and greedy, perfect puppets for the Sith. At the same time, your people are less anxious than the conquerors themselves.” The Chosen One joked as he could sense the fear in the Neimoidians.

“Good, let them fear. Once we have them cornered, they will surrender.”

“Indeed, but first, you need your Gungans. Quite an opportunity for you to strike a pact of friendship with the natives. If you can do that, it will be quite an achievement on your resume.”

“Not that I am doing this for that.” Padme seriously said to him.

“Being humble, I see.”

“It is my duty as the Queen.” She pointed out.

“Indeed, that is one of the reasons I am helping you out.” As he said that, he jumped down from the starship’s hull. For a second, Padme looked concerned the drop was quite a big one, but seeing him ignore gravity made her forget about concerns. This little guy can do crazy stuff. She is getting used to it by this point.

“My thanks for doing this.” She smiled at him.

“Come now. I don't think there is a need to thank me. Helping my future wife’s Kingdom is a must.”

There was no reaction from her; Padme had already adjusted to his teasing.

Seeing his deadpan look, the Queen grinned as she stepped forward and poked his cheek.

“This one is my victory.”

“Fair enough.”

The Chosen One decided his future tease to be more precise when she is not expecting it.

Sadly, the Queen didn't have much time to play around as the Jedi and the Gungans were back—this time, with a fat Gungan accompanying them.

Anakin spaced out and ignored this interaction. He will leave them to his future wife: her planet, her diplomacy.

Once the ‘peace’ or ‘Alliance’ is set, gungans are preparing for war while the group goes back to their starship, which takes them to the capital city.

~~~

“That's quite a reckless plan,” Obi-Wan commented as he realised that they would be taking on the whole ass city full of droids!

“We only need to capture Nute Gunray!” Padme said as she pulled a blaster from somewhere.

“Right…”

As the group progressed into the palace, the group was soon greeted by squads of droids. Jedi were about to engage them with lightsabers, and the Queen and her bodyguards were about to take cover, but Anakin, with a hand motion, sent the droids flying into a wall.

“If I scratched your Palace walls, Padme, send the bill to the Trade Federation.”

“...I will do that.”

While Padme considered doing that and more, the Jedi pondered on something else.

“...Why don't we do that, Master?” Obi-Wan asked. He was thinking, why not abuse force to destroy the number of droids?

“We could, but we would get exhausted.”

‘Exhausted!? Just look at him! He is having fun!’ Obi-Wan complained mentally, but still, he nodded at his Master.

His gaze went to the boy who stopped blaster bolts with his hand, then used his other hand to lift another squad of droids; with a squeeze of his palm, the droids turned into scrap metal.

Then he redirected the bolts and sent them flying into the third squad of droids.

He casually used the battle droids’ ammo against them. With the squads gone, the last remaining defence was the Droideka droids.

Three droids rolled in, but Anakin lifted them and spun them around, sending them flying from the palace grounds.

“It's clear we can advance.” The chosen one motioned to let's go.

“...Right.”

The Queen's group finally knew why the Jedi Master wanted to ignore the rules; the boy was a one-man army.

“You know, you can always join the Palace Guard.” The Captain of the Royal Guard commented after seeing the fight.

“I am pretty sure Padme has a term and is not permanently elected.” Anakin pointed out the fault. He could consider (not really).

“...we are not breaking laws here!” The Queen realised what Anakin was hinting at.

“... That's sad to hear.”

After running into the palace, they arrived at the hangar.

“This is the royal hangar; we can pass through here into the main palace from the back doors—” Once again, a massive group of droids greeted them.

“...We will deal with them, Your Highness. You should continue your mission.” Qui-Gon Jinn said to her.

“Yes, do your thing. I will be disabling droids for you.”

“...Anakin?” Padme looked confused; what does he mean by ‘Disabling Droids’?

“Don’t worry about me. Just focus on capturing that coward.”

“...Very well. Just don't die on me.”

The Queen hugged him for a second before rushing off with her guards.

The Chosen One didn't expect that; he was pleasantly surprised.

After getting over that, he looked at yellow starfighters parked in the hangar.

‘Gorgeous, time to collect my first piece of collection.’
