Taping echoed through out the domed bubble that was Ota Gunga. The guard brought her to the council room. He addressed the council guard as to who he had in tow.

"Thisa Jedi wanta see bigg Boss." He stated. The two guards just look at Vonta.

"Nosa seeming liksa jedi that's I know." He looks her straight in the eye. "Jedi gotten identification. Yous gotten identification."

"Yes of course I do." Vonta pulled out her Identacard from the academy.

Taking the card in hand the royal guard swipes it through a datapad. "Vonta Horn. Saying Jedi, but also saying you'sa student. No'sa Jedi."

Vonta was quick with a response she was not a reconized jedi by the order on naboo. No she was a jedi Knight in her own right. "No I am a Jedi knight but not of the order on Naboo. But I have a warning I must address to your leader immedia..."

"No ones but jedi knights gettin to talk to big boss. On countin we nosa Know if you friend of Jedi for reals." He holds up his force pike.

"I can assure you that there are bad men coming this way and if you do not warn your leaders then bad things well happen." She states.

The other guard and the escort pull their force pikes on vonta as well. "Yousa threatening the city?"

Vonta backed away slowely. "No I assure you I am only here to help."

"Yousa coming with us'in NOWS!" The guard yelled out.

Vonta felt the impending danger becoming every more prevalent. She did not move.

"GOES!" one of the guards stuck her with a force pike in the shoulder. She flinched but absorded the energy. A second stab came then a third and a forth. She absorbed the lot of it.

Their weapons unaffective the gungans called for more reinforcements. She had to say some thing and fast.
"I well go with you on the condition that you warn your leaders of the coming threat."

The three original guards were joined by six others. Who looked at the three for orders. "We'sa tell them when you'sa comes with us."

She nodded "Agreed." She put her hands up and allowed the gungans to take her weapons a teepo crafted blaster, her Aiki Akendo blade and her light saber. As she turned and was escorted down the corridors she prays her warning comes in time.

Ky-Vin had just about reached the city entrance when he met up with Kenshin in an alleyway.

"I'm glad you're here..." he told the younger man. "I just wish we were a little more prepared for something like this. Perhaps we should have moved the citizens into the Temple. They would be safer there than in their homes."

Ky-Vin shook away those conflicting thoughts. He would remain confident, even now.
There seemed to be some kind of haze invading his thoughts, he could sense, only vaguely, through the Force. "Something evil draws near..." he said quietly.

Chikami reaches into his robes and pulls out an A99 Aquata Breather, and places it in his mouth. Nodding to Lupercus Chikami takes the solvent bomb and dives into the cool clear water.

Swimming deeper into the lake Chikami saw the glow of Otah Gunga causing the water to take on a yellow-green color the closer he and Lupercus got to the city. As the two sith neared the city Chikami signaled Lupercus to stop. He points to the main gate a large shimmering spot on the wall. Forgoing the hand message Chikami decides to speak directly to Lupercus through the force.

*That is the main entrance to the town. Meet me there after you get the bomb set. Then our fun can begin.*

Nodding to Lupercus Chikami moves to set his bomb. As he is swimming something starts playing at the back of his mind, a prescence familiar but fleeting. Chikami continues onward and upon reaching the top of the bubble it hits him Vonta...so the jedi are out even in these remote areas...no mind soon enough she shall be trapped inside and will die with the gungans.

Chikami attaches the bomb to the top of the bubble and sets the timer for 5 minutes. He sends another message to Lupercus at this point.

*Lupercus I have placed my bomb and am heading inside. Hurry you dont want to be left outside it seems we have a visitor other than the gungans inside. Vonta is here for one reason or another.*

Swimming down to the entrance Chikami enters the city masking his force presence. Removing his aquata breather Chikami waits idly for Lupercus to arrive.

Kenshin nodded.

"I thought about it too. Logic is they probably will attack the city. I think we should have moved the people out to the jungles and spread them out. The only problem is, it would be alot harder to keep an eye on all of them..."

The padawan gave heavy sigh.

"I hope Master Leia knows what she's doing...Something very Dark is coming our way..."

The slight hum as the countdown started sent a shiver down Lupercus' spine. He heard his Master as he began the swim to the nearest entrance. Long powerful strokes propelled him towards his entrance way and minutes later he slipping to the city, the Force causing all nearby gungans to look away while he entered. He quickly slide down behind a set of crates before contacting his master throught the Force.

All is in readiness... The bombs should be set off soon. I'll make the first move.

One minute passed... Then two, and it was on. There was a small whosh, barely audible, as the two solvent bombs detonated, spraying the entire city with a stream of entrapment. Lupercus reached under his cape and pulled out one of his sabres, and a Tenloss Disruptor Rifle. Stepping out onto the main section of ground and in the open he ignited his sabre. A guardsman came running.

"Yousa Jedis? Wesse arrested yo friend. Yousa comin to the prison."

A healthy sneer flashed across Lupys face.

"Yeah, i'm a Jedi. And i've come to Rescue the other one you captured."

A plan was formulating in his mind as the Gungan reached for a communications device and called for backup. He also relayed the fact that the Jedi were here to fight, they wanted to rescue their friend.

Chikami! Pretend to be a Jedi! That way we can cause even more trouble!

With a hum, the Tenloss powered up to full power, just as more mounted gungans appeared down the corridor. With a flash Lupercus fired, and the first gungan disintegrated into nothing. Lupys laughter cause the other gungans to cringe, as he put the rifle away, and removed his second sabre.

Still laughing, he lept into the nearest grouping of gungans, blades slashing.

The darkness was pierced momentarily by a tiny flash of light, as a lightsaber piercing the flesh of a felled victim.

Half a dozen 50-meter craft appear in space several hundred kilometers away from the swirling planet of Naboo, far away from commercial traffic lanes and other unwanted hassles. Seemingly pathetic and unimposing, these box shaped craft moved with great speed towards high-orbit.


But what were they?


Why were they here?


The vessels powered through the all-encompassing darkness of real space ever-onwards towards Naboo. Yet even the darkness of space was no match for the sinister cause in the hearts of the great warriors already on-planet.


The 6 craft broke into 2 groups of 3 and began to slow as they achieved high orbit, only but a few hundred kilometers out of the planets atmosphere. A line of three here… another line of three 225 klicks to the left, ion trails glowing behind them brilliantly as they maneuvered about. And then they halted.


Another flash broke the darkness once more, and translucent blue bubbles began to grow, stretching outwards. It seemed their progress would never halt, but then, at last, the blue bubbles ceased in their expansion. There was a minute overlap of the bubbles between the group of three to the left, and the group of three to the right.


A gateway of sorts, it would seem.


And then, but approximately 35 seconds after these bubbles formed, 6 mighty vessels appeared in the midst of this expanse, and the bubbles immediately disappeared.


The six new ships were much larger than the first six. Dagger-shaped weapons of mass destruction, these mighty warships powered towards the atmosphere of Naboo.


Victory-Class Star Destroyers.


Imperial ships.


The first six ships that had formed the gateway, Imperial interdiction pickets, now having powered down their interdiction fields, quickly came about, and began moving back into high orbit, into the outer limits of the planets system, where they would wait.


The six new warships, however, split into three groups of two, and powering up shields and weapons, made towards the atmosphere of Naboo.


Fighters launched.


The Imperial fleet awaited the commands of the Sith Lord Darth Snack.

Unbeknowest to the ships around Naboo's orbit, a shuttle had just landed a few meters awy from where Snack's ship had landed. Exiting the lambda class shuttle, was a figure clad in white. It was Malice, a knight of the Naboo Sith Order. He had been gone from Naboo for a while now, on a personal mission, crusade he called it.

But after picking up from his sources what his fellow sith ahd planned. Malice had to stop what he was doing and help them. Reaching out with the force he could feel the darkside all around him. Snack, and Chikami stuck out more so then the rest. Sending a message via the force, Malice spoke to his master.

(Greetings Master Snack I have returned. I had heard what you planned and decided to help. Shall i meet up with your party? or go see if i Chikami and his deciple need any help?)

Malice waited for his master's answer. He knew that just like last time, death would fill Naboo once again. It was inevitable. Naboo as fated to belong to the sith, well these sith anyways.

Perrin rushed off in the opposite direction, shortly after Chikami and Lupercus did, leaving Snack and Han alone. He was puzzled as to why the new Knight would defy an order, to leave Snack and head for the city. But the anger flushed over quickly.

"Do what you feel you must, Skywalker. If it will help our cause, then yes, reveal yourself to them. You won't get a better chance.

"Now go."

Snack answered, then watched as the former Jedi Master ran into the woods towards Theed.

He stood there by the Darkscar for a few minutes until he felt a wave of evil wash over him in two different ways. One was another Sith, one who had been gone for some time now, and his apprentice, the demon Malice Draclau.

"Greetings Master Snack I have returned. I had heard what you planned and decided to help. Shall I meet up with your party? or go see if I Chikami and his disciple need any help?"

The message floated through the Force and entered his mind. Snack responded via Force, hiding the gladness of having a great asset and Sith show up for what should be a glorious moment for the Sith.

"Your presence here is a welcome one, my Apprentice. I feel that Chikami and his Disciple will fair well. You would be best placed at Theed. Our goal is to distract the Jedi, and keep them moving. Confrontation with them is a last choice option, and only a last choice."

Looking off to his side, he could barely make out the Lambda shuttle and the white robed figure through the trees and brush. He nodded that way, then turned his attention to the sky above.

The second wave of Darkness.

Reaching into his cloak, Snack retrieved a comm link, which had a special frequency directed only to the fleet of Victory Class Star Destroyers that had just arrived at Naboo. An evil smile crossed the Elder Sith's lips, as the plan was coming full circle. Indeed this would be a day not long forgotten.

"Commander, this is Sith Lord Darth Snack. You may commence attack when ready."

Putting the comm unit back into his cloak, the Sith Lord started a brisk walk towards the city of Theed.

The Nubulan b-2 saber strike sat in orbit above naboo. The Android strike was in charge of ship operations. She reviewed the ships manifests. Nothing out oof the ordinary to speak of. The Fighter bays were well maintained. And the techology on board was more then state of the art. Personal inventions of Vonta Horn put to good use.

A holographic image appears. A graceful young woman clad in a dress more appropriate for a ballroom. The ships main computer made manifest in image that was the exact duplicate of strike going by the name of Saber.

"Strike we have a problem." she says.

"What could posibly be wrong? things on this ship move so well that it could be run by droids and not organics." She says exasperatedly. With more emotion than a droid is said to possess.

"Would a small battle fleet droping out of nowhere into orbit be considered a problem then." She waved her hand and brought a holo image of a small imperial fleet droping from orbit.

Strike immediatly came to attention. "Sith spit!" She hits a series of controls on a counsil on her chairs left arm activating the com unit for the ship.

"All crew Code red. Battle stations, I repeat all crew to battle stations." Turning to the navigator at the helm controls. The saber strike was on the opposite side of the planet from where those attack ships entered orbit. They need to keep it that way. "Helms man keep us in a direct opposite side of the planet until we can put up cloak measures."

The saber strike had escaped detection for the moment but the ships would soon circle the planet to blockade it. So they had little time.

Time to use saber strikes new cloak systems. Onboard were 40 Jensaarai. Force users able to use force cloak. A force power that made the ship invisible to all electronically based scanners. Even a vid recording would show blank space. But the naked eye would give them away.

"Jensaarai report ready sir." The helm chimes in.

Strike nodds. "Engage Force cloak and ship holo imaging." The saber strike had placed holo imagers on the surface of the ship. Taking the ship into a high orbit and turning it into a stary replica of the star scape they camalflage the ship from the naked eye. And as such the Saber strike avoids detection from an attacking fleet. But for what good that it could do against such a fleet she would have to figure out once the captain can contact them again.

*Han nodded to Snack, and ran off towards the Jedi Temple. He would Unveil himself to the jedi, and keep them off kilter for as long as he could, killing them if he had to.*

"It is time." Han said under his breath.
