On a holo-screen an introduction begins:

(Programing= Anthropological data bases B-C-D-E

Sorra Bing – Reporter for Bom’bad Morning

In order to keep in contact with the rest of the burgeoning Gungan population around the surface of Naboo, the Nubian moon colony, and the galaxy at large the Gunga News channel was founded.

Sorra Bing= female anchor and reporter. In charge of anthropological study done for off worlders interesting in gungan life in a gungan underwater city.

Anthropological study= cameras set up around otta Gunga and holo recorders beam back information to a main hub in the domes. Has a shield system to protect systems from the mosture of the sea: weapons grade shield.

Induvidual Gungans have holo-recorders retransmitting data to the surface to Nubian Moon and too the surface office.

End introduction:

:: Goods but I'sa make it betta. :: Sorra thinks to her self while editing her first attempt at and introduction for her program.

Standing in her work station with shields around her buzzing Sorra Bing watches several dozen Holo recordings happening at once. She was pleased with her self her carreer was off to a great start as a host and reporter for Bom’bad Morning, now with this new report she would be able to get herself into the intergalactic spotlight. She dreamed of being known by more beings then just the gungans and Nubians that made up the bulk of their viewing audience.

This report was as thorough as they came she had camera’s posted inside the domes to watch the everyday customs of Gungan interaction and she had many volunteers to let her record the events of their days. They all had aspirations of being on an inter-galacticly viewed program. She gave a chuckle to her self. Some Gungans just loved to be noticed. Herself included

There was a bit of commotion in the morning. A Jedi had arrived one of the guards that greeted her was adorned with her holo-camera. A female human.

Sorra thought nothing of it until she started to receive reports from the surface. Reports of Jedi and Bad jedi making lots of death all over.

She was about to go and see what the Jedi female had to say when she looked at her screens and saw that her camera greeter was no longer moving any more. His camera was on the ground as if it were dropped facing one way parrellel to the ground. She switch to her main dome camera and inhaled with shock. Letting loose a small scream.

The guard that she had been looking at had been sliced up like so many fresh Gooba Fish.

Another explosion rocked through the dome. Located at another entrance. Near the merchant district.

She pans through her cameras frantically.

There were bodies every where with the same kinds of markings as the ones in the other entrance.

She rewinds the recorded data until she finds the beginning of the slaughter along with it’s source.

The Holo-recording begins:

“”Chikami couldn't help but chuckle at this new game, and decided to play along. Reaching behind his back Chikami pulls out a lightsaber given to him by his apprentice, a gift.

Igniting the lightsber Chikami begins to walk forward when he is stopped by a gungan patrol guard.

"Yousa comin' wit' me jedi. Wesa took yousa friendsa to thesa prison, and yousa goin' too." The gungan pulled out a small blue orb readying himself incase the 'jedi' tried anything.

Chikami laughed at the pitiful display and mocked the gugnan saying "Do you really think that blaster will stop me from claiming what is ours?"

Without another word Chikami lept over the gungan cutting his orb in two in mid flip, and delivering a shocking experience to the gungan. Upon landing Chikami spun around on his heel and decapitated the guard. Reinforcements could be heard heading his way, as the civilians scattered.

Reaching inside his cloak Chikami pulls out a small metal orb with a small gap around its center. Pushing the two halves together a beeping sound can be heard and lights at either end begin flashing. Silently counting to three Chikami throws the thermal detonator into the fleeing crowd. Seconds later a large explosion is heard as the thermal detonator goes off in a wave of fire and shrapnel. The cries of gungans can be heard nearly all throughout the dome as the explosion subsides and the real pain begins. Three or four homes were completely destroyed and many more have caught fire, leaving those inside to burn alive.

Chikami walks toward the oncoming guards laughing the entire time. His saber in front of him ready for the worst.

The small group of guards all stop 25 feet in front of Chikami and pull out more of the blue orbs, but these gungans are also equipped with blue shields similar to those that hold the water out of the city. The lead gungan yells out "Yousa bad jedi. Mesa gonna tell the council about yousa. Guards, attack!" The gungans behind him start throwing the orbs at Chikami.

Chikami stops laughing and says "I dont think you'll be telling the council anything." Chikami begins to destroy the oncoming projectiles with his lightsaber edging ever closer to the gungans. Growing tired of their games Chikami dashes into the group of guard and begins slashing the low-rank soldiers into small pieces. The leader he saves for last. Pulling on the darkside Chikami uses a combination of force push and force choke to lift the gungan by his throat up off the beast he was riding. The gungan begins to sputter and claw at his throat as his air flow has been restricted. Looking up at the gungan Chikami asks "Are you still gonna tell the council?" Chikami doesn't really care what his answer would be, once the gungan slumps dead in the air Chikami drops him and moves on deeper into the city.””



She is wide eye stalked with shock at the atrocities she is witnessing. She looks back at the data files to find the beginning of the first murders she found.


Holo-recording as follows:

“”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.

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.””


She has it on film she looks through the holo transmissions. Several are lost many are moving images as if the owner is running she can hear them screaming frantically trying to get away from the slaughters.

She Turns away as she sees one holo imager that has fallen in place right next to a headless body. Sorra Turns away gagging at the sight.

She looks at the intrance cameras. The exits are somehow sealed off no one is getting out and people are trampling each other to at least attempt to make it to safty.

“Dis’a not happening.” She says to her self.

She closes her eyes. No way in slaughtering going on inside.

“But dis’a isa Happenen. And mesa going report it.” She starts flipping through her boards. There is a system of transmitters that send a signal to a bouy at the surface. From there it is stored and then retransmitted to the main office on the surface. She is a hub sustem but she also has a submersable transport with it’s own transmitter. If she can…

She gets in contact with her mobile station.

“Yes’a!” She cries out loud slapping her knee in success.

She has access to the transports computers. She can relay the transmitted data through there if this station fails. She grabs her data pad and portable transmitter pack and heads out. She sets the shield up to full power. She did not know if it would hold long but she hoped that it would hold long enough. Two systems transmitting the data was better then one. She heard the screams getting louder near by along with several explosions.

This was not a good place to be.

She get out and is pushed by the throngs of Gungans running for their lives.

Let and right the crie out in terror of a walking death that is coming.

Sorra tries to fight the flow of the crowd to no avail. It only tired her out. So she follows them hoping that she did not end up one of the dead that she saw in her holo-vids.

Several more explosions rock the Domes only enhancing the panic in the air.

* * *

Finally they reach the entrance where that force user had cut down the guard that was involved in her project. Gungans were pressing against each other like canned fish. The throng made it so that one could not go back only forwards. Forwards into the blaster fire and cutting blade of one of their assailents.

Sorra manages to work her way to the edge of the crowd. Avoiding the main slaughter she laid next to the shield wall. Bodies pile up before and about her and she hides among them. She had to survive to report this atrocity.

All at once the pair of mass murderers halt in their tracks. The give pause as another human, a female, enters the room.

:: The Jedi! :: She thinks to herself.

There may be a chance at safty yet.

She continues to transmit a recording.


The holo-vid:

““Running throuhg the city slaughtering worthless gungans Chikami was having the most fun he had had in a long time. Skidding to a halt so that he doesn't trample his apprentice Chikami looks around. Then Lupercus says something that catches Chikami's interest.

"Chikami, i'm thinking thats who you wanted to kill wasn't it?"

Instinctively Chikami began to fill himself with the darkside before even looking to see what his apprentice was talking about. Vonta. Chikami stifled a laugh as Lupercus grabbed a gungan and made it look like he was holding it hostage. Turning his attention to Vonta Chikami spoke.

"It seems you have grown in power. Though not in the standard jedi fashion. Tell me did you learn anything at the academy? I take offence when people who are clearly after me go after my apprentices instead."

Chikami removes his cloak which up until now had been hiding the fact that he was missing his right arm. Holding the cloak out to the side darkness began to form around his hand, but the black color of his cloak hid it. A snap could be heard under the cloak like that of someone snapping their fingers. Immediately the cloak burst into flame and seconds later it was only a pile of ash beside him. Chikami's hand could easily be seen now inky blackness was swirling all around it. Looking back to Vonta Chikami spoke again cold and heartless.

"You are not the only one who has been studying ancient force techniques."

Lupercus laughed as he sensed padawans of pure jedi, the worst kind, swimming around the city, trying to find an enterance.

They'll be waiting for quite a while! So as soon as we kill this one, we'll have more sport!

Lupercus stared deeply at the woman. He sensed a strange mix of powers in her, Jensaari, Jedi and Aiki. Luckily that was to her detriment, since they collectively detracted from her force power by their very nature. He clasped the hostage tighter.

"Don't move or i kill the kid!"

He jabbed the hilt into the young gungans neck. He paused as he glimsed the absurdity of the situation, then laughed.

"What am i talking about!"

The snaphiss of the lightsabre was counterbalanced by the cold wet sound of a head flobbing to the floor. With a heave Lupercus tossed the body at Vonta, blood spurting everywhere from the childs neck. Lupercus cackled and ignited his sabres.””


The child was one of her vollunters. Sorra made a prayer to the gods for her as the child fell dead.

She cursed these dark force people. Recording events was her only form of defense against this assault and it would be her way of fighting them to her dieing breath.

She records their names in her mind as they banter.

Lupercus, Chikama, and the name of her would be savior Vonta.

The two dark ones give the Jedi a fight to remember. Some how the Jedi had been able to deactivate the the sabers of her assailents. Breifly giving her an edge. She fights valiantly but Sorra can see that the Jedi’s injuries are mounting. Several look serious, she did not know human biology that well but she did not think that one would be able to fight after the wounds that she had received.

Just as the pair of dark ones were about to make a finishing stroke Vonta just inexplicably vanishes. And with her go Sorra’s hopes of rescue.

The Dark ones seem to have disintegrated her.


They pay no mind and go back to their business.

““Lupercus smiled as the C4 detonated the shields. Luckily Lup has chemically treated the explosives with the solvent so that Chikami wouldn't look like an idiot when he tried to do exactly what he just did.

Still, Chikami had finally crushed his past. Vonta was sent hurtling from life. Had she been a Master, Lup would have thought she was a ghost, but one lacking power like herself meant her death would be the end of Vonta Horn. Chuckling to himself, he put his rebreather in his mouth and lept through the hole Chikami had made. As he swam after his Master, Lupercus pulled out the detonator. There would be no more Oota Gunga. The last of the hidden gungan cities would be liquidated in the seismic explosion of the death of a Jedi.

Lupercus almost felt melancholy as he flicked the switch that killed millions more gungans, but in the end, he knew he was doing the galaxy a greater good.

The massive upsurge of water from the explosion sent both Lupercus and Chikami hurtling towards the surface, where more plunder awaits.””

They place and explosive that fills the dome with water. The bodys begin to slosh around her as they start to float. No one else seems to be alive. Sorra swims towards the exit pushing bodies aside to make it out. With her gungan ears she could hear the pair of murdering scum go out aways from the dome. Sorra crawls out of the hole making sure to drift with the bodies that were floating out of the hole they left. She grabs hold of the edge of the dome pulling her self along so that she is not noticed. She watches first hand hidden beneath the dome as one of them hits a switch and the water begins to rock from an explosion that was contained in the dome. She is thrown back ward but she rides the wake of the explosion. It is just like riding the hurricane waters when she was a much younger gungan.

‘Go with the force and one may survive to swim another day.’ That was the saying that all young gungans learn on their first swim.

She looks back as the pair go back to the surface, their work done. Sorra swims back several leagues and crawels into the cockpit of her battered news submersable. When the water is drained tears begin to roll down her cheeks. She opens the hatch to the rear of the craft with the transmission data was being received and relayed.

All of the screens had gone black. No-one was left in the once grand city alive. No one but her.

She swore that this transmission would make it so that the last story of Otta Gunga was known throughout the known universe.
