Chapter Four - The Battle Of Naboo
After helping Qui-Gon protect Anakin, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their allies were transported to what appeared to be a beautiful city. Both the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY were in awe of this city.
Piper: It's...it's beautiful.
Yang: If I lived here, I wouldn't want to leave!
Junko: So pretty!
Aerrow: Where are we?
Suddenly, the apparition of the Bendu's face appeared.
Bendu: You are in the city of Theed in the peaceful planet of Naboo. At this moment in time, the greedy Trade Federation has launched an invasion on the planet with an army of Battle Droids.
Weiss: How could anyone invade such a peaceful world?
Bendu: All is not lost.
The Bendu then directs everyone's attention to Queen Padme Amidala who was leading the Royal Security Forces into the city.
Bendu: This is Queen Padme Amidala. She is on the verge of leading an attack on the Trade Federation to free Naboo. With her are two Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Your mission is to protect Padme Amidala. She must survive.
Ruby: You can count on us!
As the apparition of the Bendu disappeared, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY as well as the others approached Padme. Captain Panaka and the rest of the Royal Security Forces raised their weapons.
Aerrow: Wait! Don't shoot! We're here to help!
Padme: Who are you?
Panaka: And how did you get past the Droids?
Ruby: We uh....sneaked in!
Ahsoka: This may sound strange, but we're here to help.
As Ahsoka said this, Qui-Gon sensed a disturbance in the Force. Some of the people he saw appeared to be Jedi. But Ahsoka soon glanced to the boy who was Anakin Skywalker. She was at a loss of words to see the one who would one day be her Jedi Master as a young boy.
Qui-Gon: The Force is strong with you.
Panaka: How do we know we can trust you?
Qui-Gon: I sense no deception in them. They are true to their words. The Force brought them here for a reason. It would be unwise to turn down more help.
With that, the group joined Padme's strike force. As everyone got into position, a Gian heavy patrol speeder took aim and fires a powerful shot at the AAT, destroying it. A battle soon broke out between the Federation Battle Droids and the Naboo forces. Under cover of the confusion, Padme led her team into the Theed Palace. Once inside, Ahsoka along with Jaina and Darth Caedus coordinated an attack to cover for the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY. As the three teams covered for the main strike force, Aerrow and Ruby led their respective teams.
Aerrow: Don't let up!
Ruby: Stay together, guys!
Qui-Gon: Ani, find cover!
As the young Anakin made a run for one of the Naboo Starfighters, Ahoska sees a group of Battle Droids converging on Anakin's position. Without hesitation, she charges at the Battle Droids and cut the Droids to ribbons with her two White Lightsabers.
Padme: GET TO YOUR SHIPS!
As Padme said this, the Naboo pilots rushed to their ships while the strike force covered them. Soon enough, the Naboo Starfighters took off and flew out of the hanger.
Finn: How come we don't get to fly spaceships?!
Stork: This is intolerable!
Soon enough, the last of the Battle Droids were cleared.
Weiss: That was....something.
Blake: You can say that again.
Yang: If these Clankers are the best they got, than this should be a piece of cake!
Ahsoka: Don't underestimate these Battle Droids, Yang. They might not seem like much. But they're dangerous.
Padme: My guess is that the Viceroy is in the throne room.
Panaka: Red Group! Blue Group! Everyone this way!
Anakin: Hey! Wait for me!
Qui-Gon: Anakin, stay where you are. You'll be safe there.
Anakin: But I...
Qui-Gon: Stay in that cockpit.
As everyone moved to the hanger doors, the door opened, however, Darth Maul appeared on the other side blocking their way.
Stork: We're doomed.....
Finn: Whoa....who let tall, dark and creepy?!
Yang: Hey! I was about to say that!
As Yang said this, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan approached the Sith Lord.
Qui-Gon: We'll handle this.
Padme: We'll take the long way.
As Padme and the Naboo strike force left, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY stayed behind, ready to fight alongside the two Jedi. Suddenly, time froze as the Bendu's face appeared.
Bendu: You are not to intervene in this fight.
Ruby: What?! But we can help!
Bendu: No. This outcome has been decided. Qui-Gon Jinn will sacrifice himself. Obi-Wan Kenobi shall defeat Maul. Your priority is to protect Padme Amidala!
Ahsoka: The Bendu is right. Our priority is Queen Amidala. We cannot interfere.
Despite wanting to help the two Jedi, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY followed the Bendu's orders. When time unfroze, they joined Padme's strike force just as a group of Droidekas. As they were pinned down, Finn fires his Energy Crossbow at them, but their deflector shields block the arrows with little effort.
Finn: Crap! Not good!
Weiss then uses her Glyphs Semblance for fire ice shards at the Droidekas. Soon enough, Anakin inadvertently activates his Naboo Starfighter and fires on the Droidekas, destroying them.
Piper: That's...that's Anakin!
Finn: Aaaaand he's gone.
Padme: Let's go!
As the room was cleared, they pushed deeper into the palace, traveling through the ceremonial halls before she was stopped by a contingent of Battle Droids. The group quickly finds themselves pinned down. During this, Panaka fires his blaster at the windows, shattering them.
Panaka: Go!
Ahsoka: Ruby! Aerrow! Takes your teams and stay with the Queen!
Aerrow: What about you?!
Ahsoka: We'll keep the Droids off your backs!
As Ahsoka, Jaina and Darth Caedus stayed behind, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY followed them. As Padme and the strike force used ascension guns to get up to the to the throne room level, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY were left behind.
Finn: Man I wish we had our Skimmers!
Junko: How are we gonna get up there?!
Without warning, Ruby uses her Petal Burst Semblance to carry everyone up to the throne level. When they reached the throne level, Finn began freaking out.
Finn: Holy crap! Warn us next time you turn us into rose petals!
Meanwhile, Ahoska and the others defended the other half of the strike force.
Darth Caedus: Jaina! We have to push through! Together!
Jaina: I'm not about to fight with a Sith murderer standing beside me!
Darth Caedus: We don't have time for this, Jaina! We have to work together!
At this point, Jaina hesitantly listens to her fallen brother. Like old times, Jaina and Darth Caedus moved through the hallway, cutting through the Battle Droids. The Droids were no match for the Solo Twins as they moved through the hallways. Back in the throne level, the group soon found themselves surrounded by Droidekas.
Padme: Lay down your weapons. They win this round.
As they dropped their weapons, they were escorted to the throne room where Viceroy Nute Gunray and Rune Haako were waiting for them.
Gunray: Your little insurrection is at an end, your Highness. Time for you to sign the treatyand end this pointless debate in the Senate.
It was at this moment that Finn stepped in.
Finn: Federation Dudes! How about we....work out some things?
Gunray: And who do you think you are?
Finn: Who am I? Who am I?! I'm the Domo, leader of Terra Vapos!
Gunray: I've never heard of it.
Finn: You've never heard of Terra Vapos?! It's an ancient city of marble and gold! And I am their king!
Gunray: You're stalling. Kill him.
As the Battle Droids aimed at Finn, he lets out a nervous smile. Suddenly, a voice called out.
???: Viceroy! Your occupation has ended!
Everyone turns around to see Sabé and her team approaching the throne room. She then shoots two of the Battle Droids.
Gunray: After her! This one's a decoy!
As the Battle Droids were dispatched, they were distracted just long enough for Padme to open a secret compartment in the throne full of blasters and throw them to her allies. The confused Battle Droids were quickly shot down. As the Viceroy was captured, time froze.
Bendu: Good job! You have protected Padme Amidala's life! The battle is won! Regroup with your allies! The doorway should be open!
As time unfroze, Aerrow and Ruby turned to Padme.
Aerrow: Listen, we have to regroup with our friends. They might be in trouble!
Padme: You've done enough. Thank you for your help.
Ruby: No problem! Good luck with the uh....queening!
With that, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY parted ways with Padme and her allies and regrouped with Ahsoka and the others who were surrounded by the sliced up Battle Droids.
Ruby: Whoa....nice weapons!
Ahsoka: It's just like the Clone Wars all over again.
Jaina: Is Padme Amidala safe?
Aerrow: We just helped her take down the Viceroy.
Ruby: Bendu said there should be a doorway opening....
Before Ruby could finish her sentence, the doorway opened. Wasting no time, everyone walked through the doorway, ready to continue their journey to stop Abeloth and preserve the timeline.
