In the dark starry sky of the universe, countless stars are hung on the black curtain, forming a huge silver galaxy with orange nebulae. It looks like a waterfall of stars, shining in the sky. It is so beautiful. It's intoxicating.
in particular……
When you are looking at the scenery and there is someone you like in your heart accompanying you?
"Wow!"
"What a nice view……"
On Anakin's Jedi-specific shuttle, Padmé Amidala, sitting in the co-pilot position without any entourage, sighed softly while looking at the cosmic scenery outside the cockpit.
"Anakin, look, the scenery outside is really beautiful~!"
In her opinion, there is nothing better or more romantic than being able to take a space shuttle with the person you like on a journey that is neither long nor short.
Although she herself knew that it was impossible for her and Anakin to have any practical development, because she was once a queen and now a senator, and the other party was a Jedi Knight. Their identities destined them to have no relationship. What a great result... However, that did not prevent her from staying with the person of her dreams, especially during the few days when she was stranded on Naboo for some reason and the few days after departure, she was sure , she felt very relaxed and sweet when she was alone with the other person.
She knew that it was a feeling of happiness, even if it might be short-lived, and even if she woke up one day, she just wanted to enjoy it now.
"..."
However, Anakin didn't answer Padmé's words. He was just checking the spacecraft's instruments and watching the situation in the universe vigilantly, always paying attention to dangers that might appear at any time, and how could he be in the mood to see Padmé? The Milky Way scenery mentioned?
"This journey should go smoothly, Anakin, you better not worry too much..."
"I have followed your arrangement and asked the entourage to follow the maid dressed as me and drive the shining Naboo royal starship directly to Coruscant. No one will know that we are actually taking a long detour. road to the capital.”
"Even if someone really wants to kill me, they should attack the Naboo Royal Starship that arrived one day earlier than us. Now we should be more worried about their safety, right?"
Watching Anakin next to her who was controlling the spacecraft to stop at this place and rely on inertia to slowly sneak forward, and while being alert and preparing to anchor the next coordinate for faster-than-light navigation, Padmé couldn't help but laugh and cry a little. The ground made a sound to comfort the other party and asked.
"No!"
"Padmé, don't underestimate those bounty hunters. You have never been in contact with them and don't know their methods... I have studied with Obi-Wan for ten years, and I have fought with him in the past two years. Some tough bounty hunters, you’ll never imagine how scary they are!”
"In short, I will send you to Coruscant safely at all costs. Just sit back and relax. Again, you must listen to me on everything along the way!"
After Anakin glanced at Padmé next to him and her teasing smile, he said nothing more, because now was not the time to relax, he had to be responsible for Padmé's safety!
Therefore, he first continued to use the Force to carefully sense the surrounding space, and found that there was indeed no danger seen or sensed here. He waited patiently for all the values of the hyperdrive to return to normal before he tried again. He started the engine and let his Jedi shuttle sail towards the next coordinate, and instantly disappeared into this beautiful space.
"Of course, my Jedi, I will listen to you. You are my commander now. That's okay, right?"
"but……"
"Anakin, on this heading, where are we going now?"
After entering the state of super-light flight, there was no scene outside, and everywhere in sight was a dazzling band of light. Padmé continued to ask Anakin with some confusion.
"Not going anywhere!"
"We just need to make a circle first, reach another busy route away from Naboo, and then divert to Coruscant! This is what Obi-Wan specifically told me before, and I also think this may be a good idea to confuse the enemy. , although it may not necessarily work, but at least it is much safer than going directly from Naboo to Coruscant."
After confirming for the last time that no problems were found with the instruments and coordinates, Anakin relaxed for a while and had time to briefly communicate with Padmé next to him.
"..."
"Is the matter really as serious as you think?"
After seeing that Anakin never looked like he was on Naboo after he started setting off, but instead had a businesslike and mission-first attitude, Padmé suddenly sighed to herself with some embarrassment and grievance. A sound.
"Of course!"
"Otherwise, Obi-Wan wouldn't have sent me here specially!"
Padmé has been in danger since she left Naboo, and Anakin, who is a Jedi and has begun to use the Force, is very sure of this.
"That's it..."
"Doesn't that mean, Anakin, you are now a very, very powerful Jedi Knight?"
"Is that so?"
Hearing that Obi-Wan had specially sent Anakin, Padmé suddenly asked excitedly, because she was very concerned about Anakin's situation. If the other person had really become a powerful Jedi Knight, would she You will definitely be happy for the other person!
This is just like what the other person said to himself when he was still a little kid, pretending to be the Queen's maid, that one day he would definitely become a powerful Jedi Knight? And look now, the guy who looked very thin due to malnutrition has indeed become a Jedi Knight, and he seems to be very powerful?
"No!"
"That's just because I am the closest to Naboo. According to the time you originally decided to set off, other Jedi Knights or Jedi Masters would not have time to come to Naboo, so Obi-Wan had to let me come. I am not yet a Jedi Jedi Knight, I'm just a Padawan for now, Obi-Wan said I still have a lot to learn."
'That's it...'
"Then what do you think?"
'laugh! I thought you were so powerful that Obi-Wan had to choose you to carry out this mission! '
"..."
"Padmé, it won't be long before I become stronger. I promise you, you will see that day soon!"
'I'm looking forward to it, Anakin...'
"Thanks!"
"I hope you won't be too surprised then?"
'ha! '
'Anakin, I won't be surprised no matter what you become, I promise you that too! '
"Yeah……"
'of course! '
"hope so……"
'! ! '
'Anakin, you don't believe me? '
"No! No!"
'You have it, your eyes and expression have given you away! '
"..."
In this way, Padmé and Anakin chatted happily in this small Jedi shuttle, and soon arrived at the coordinates of their second destination, arriving Outskirts of the Arkanis area.
"Well?!"
"Wait, it seems like..."
However, this time, not long after he came out of the super-light voyage, before Anakin could check his surroundings, lock on the next coordinates, and sense the origin of the slightest sense of crisis, he saw a sudden attack from the distance. Explosive beam, and then inevitably, the Jedi shuttle that had just escaped from the super-light voyage began to shake violently, and a lot of sparks were shot out in the cockpit.
'! ! '
'Yeah~! ! '
Padmé, who was taking a nap, was woken up in a daze. When she saw the sparks exploding on the dashboard, she was so frightened that she screamed and was shaken out of the passenger seat. position, and hit the top of the cockpit hard.
"Damn!!"
"Sure enough, it's all Obi-Wan's fault. He shouldn't have set such a fixed route for me!!"
Anakin first subconsciously cursed a certain self-righteous senior brother Obi-Wan, and before some attacking enemies fired a second blaster beam at his injured shuttle, Then he suddenly accelerated, pressed a certain landing point that had been preset because he had landed before, and rushed towards a planet that he had not planned to return to so soon, flying at a dangerous short distance and faster than the speed of light...
Whoosh~!
?~?
warn!
warn! !
The hyperlight engine is damaged, the balancer is damaged, and the auxiliary power is offline. The spacecraft is crashing now. Please be prepared for impact...
After escaping from super-light flight again, Feichuang plunged into the atmosphere of an earth-yellow planet, and began to cause the outside of the spacecraft to turn red and ignite fire due to violent friction, and at the same time the spacecraft was piloted. The scene outside the cabin became very scary!
'! ! '
'not good! '
'Anakin! It's about to crash, please think of a way! '
After being hit and recovering, Padmé, who had just climbed up from the floor due to entering the gravity environment, once again fell to the side of Anakin's driving seat due to the stall of the spacecraft, and urged him urgently. road.
"no!"
"The spaceship is completely out of control, there's nothing I can do!!"
'What? '
'So what do I do now? '
"hold me!"
'ah? '
"hold me!!"
'But what's the use? '
"We may not necessarily die. I have the force. If you hold me tight, you may suffer less damage when you land!!"
'are you sure? '
"I have no idea!!"
'...'
"Hold me tight!!!"
'ah! Okay, okay! '
Under Anakin's urging, Padmé, who had absolutely no good solution, did not continue to persist or be reserved. Instead, she groped forward generously and hugged her tightly from the driver's seat. Anakin stood up.
However, even though Anakin just said that, he also knows that the Force is not omnipotent, at least not his Force! Therefore, even if he tried his best to stimulate his power, it could not make a crashing spaceship that was smoking black and crashing towards the planet ground any slower.
'Anakin! '
"What's wrong?"
'I...I like you! '
"!!"
"what did you just say?!"
'I said! I like you! ! '
"I can't believe it, it feels like a dream, but when did you start?"
'I don't know either! '
"But, Padmé, why are you unwilling to say it until now?"
'Because if I don't say anything, I'm afraid I won't have a chance! ! '
"Padmé, I like you too..."
'What did you say? '
??~?Whoosh~! !
boom! ! ! !
Finally, the black-smoking spacecraft hit the soft yellow sand of the planet hard, and then after knocking out the dust all over the sky and plowing out a deep ravine hundreds of meters long, The burning spacecraft finally came to a halt.
At this moment, at the moment of impact, two men and women who were hugging each other were thrown out at the same time, and fell on a soft sand dune and began to roll down towards the bottom of the dune...
"Ahem!"
"Anakin, we're not dead? That's great! But where is this?"
For a long time, after the man and woman rolled wildly on the dune for an unknown number of times and stopped at the bottom of the dune, a woman who looked really embarrassed finally stood up unsteadily and looked around. Scenery, he asked Anakin, who was also getting up with a groan.
"I have no idea……"
"But in an emergency, I pressed the button on the nearest suitable planet randomly selected, and it was also a landing point that I preset... Judging from the situation, this should be Tatooine without a doubt."
Anyway, Anakin will not tell Padmé that he chose this place on purpose just now, because here, he and she have a chance to survive! Otherwise, if they really choose any planet at random, they may not be able to find helpers or wait for the arrival of reinforcements in the border areas of the Galactic Republic.
"That…..."
"Are we safe now?"
After looking around and wiping herself, Padmé found that neither she nor Anakin seemed miraculously missing any parts or injured. Padmé quickly patted the yellow sand on her body and hair and said to Anakin. Nagin asked.
"No!"
"It's definitely not safe now! Because they will definitely come after us!"
Looking at the sky, Anakin felt that there were more than one spaceship heading towards the place where they crashed... It can be seen that those guys will definitely not give up before they are sure that they are both dead!
Of course, it's also possible that they need Padmé's body or head in order to ask for commissions from the remaining employers of the Trade Federation?
Anyway, it won't take long, maybe an hour, maybe only half an hour, they will definitely find this place!
"ah!"
"What should we do, Anakin, now that your spaceship is broken, should we find someone to repair it, or should we buy a new one?"
Looking at the burning spaceship, Padmé didn't have any good ideas, so she could only suggest this.
"No!"
"I'm afraid they won't give us that much time..."
'? ? '
'Why? Are they chasing you? ! '
"Yeah! You guessed it right!"
"But, ignore them, let's go, get out of here first!"
'...'
'But where are we going? Mos Eisley? '
"No!"
"What's so good about Mos Eisley? Padmé, why are we going there and why do you think so?"
'Then there's no need to ask! '
'Because I know that it is the largest space port on Tatooine, and it is the only place where you can buy a spaceship that can leave here! '
"No!"
"Padmé, believe me, if we don't destroy them, neither of us will be able to leave this planet alive. I know what bounty hunters are! They are like a pack of hyenas, they will bite us and won't let go!"
'But……'
'Anakin, are you sure you have to do that? '
"Yes!"
'...'
'But do you know how many there are? '
"have no idea!"
"Maybe a few, maybe a hundred, maybe hundreds... Padmé, you may not know yet, right? Your head is very valuable now! The Trade Federation wants to kill you, but You’ve spent a lot of money, that’s enough for those bounty hunters to take any risk to kill you, even on Coruscant!”
'ah! ! '
'Then aren't we in danger now? '
"It might be true in other places, but not necessarily here!"
'or……'
'Shall we call for backup? '
"It's too late! It will take several days for the fastest spaceship to get here. If we relied entirely on others, we would be dead by the time they arrive!"
"Let's go! This way!"
'? ? '
'Anakin, the spaceship is definitely broken, but the communication equipment may not be broken according to the importance. Why don't you send a distress message first? '
"unnecessary!"
'! ! '
'Are you sure you can beat them? '
"Um!"
“It doesn’t happen anywhere else, but it does here!”
Anakin said firmly and motioned for Padmé to follow him quickly if she was not injured.
"But why?"
However, Padmé, who was stunned by Anakin's words, did not intend to give up. She rushed to Anakin step by step and asked questions.
"No reason!"
"Hello!"
"Wait for me! Anakin, are you hiding something from me?"
"Of course!"
"I'm a Jedi Knight. Of course there are many things that Jedi Knights would hide from ordinary people like you. Those are secrets!"
"you!!"
"Let's go! Padmé, get up quickly, otherwise we may miss important transportation later."
"Transportation? Anakin, where can there be transportation in a place like this?!"
"Why not, look?"
Soon, when the two of them climbed to the top of the sand dune with difficulty, Anakin and Padmé, who was slightly shocked, soon discovered:
In the distance, there was a cloud of yellow sand rising up. Obviously, someone saw the crash site here, so they rushed here to see what happened, or... wanted to take advantage of it?
"It's the Sand People, those Tuskens!"
"It seems that we can save some credits to buy transportation..."
As the opponent got closer and closer, after seeing clearly that those riding on the hoverbikes were a group of sand people, Anakin sighed, took out the handle of the lightsaber fastened at his waist and He held it tightly in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Anakin, aren't they here to help with the rescue?"
Seeing Anakin's reaction, Padmé hid behind him in fear and asked timidly.
"Rescue?"
"snort!"
"Padmé, you have to remember that the sand people here are not very friendly, especially the ones that wander around the sand dunes. If you don't want to be captured by them and tortured to death or sold as a slave, then it's best to So stay away from them or be ready to fight back at any time!”
As the sand people riding hoverbikes in the distance approached and surrounded them with weapons in hand, Anakin said nothing more. He only saved them when the other party approached and clamored to catch them. , then suddenly revealed the iconic lightsaber hilt of the Jedi Knight, and then threatened him step by step.
"..."
Originally, Padmé was a little skeptical of what Anakin said, but when she discovered that the sand people had clearly seen Anakin reveal his identity, but they still used the weird weapons in their hands regardless. As soon as the blaster weapon was fired at Anakin, she believed him instantly.
'He's a Jedi! '(Tusken)
'what to do? '
'Kill him! Then take that woman away and no one here will see that we did it! '
'shot! '
'kill him! ! '
'...'
soon!
As the aggressive group of sand people came on hoverbikes, but they chose the wrong target, they were easily killed and cut into several pieces by Anakin, a Jedi apprentice with some criminal records, within a few moves. He selected and drove one of the hoverbikes with the best energy and condition, carried his former queen Padmé, and left the mutilated corpses of the sand people in that place and drove away...
"..."
"Anakin, the sand people here, I mean those Tuskens, are they all like that?"
Although Anakin's behavior just now was a bit cruel, Padmé didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's defensive counterattack. However, she still had some curiosity and doubts about the sand people on this chaotic planet.
"Yes!"
"At least that's what I know, they are all a bunch of robbers, thugs, terrorists and killers!"
