Anakin and Padme have stopped running, and have no way to continue running, because they have now arrived at their destination, and surrounded by enemies, they hid in such a room in the dark, which is relatively strong. The kind of Tatooine-style sand people dome house.
Then, Padmé, who had been on tenterhooks all afternoon, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer worried that she would be dried alive by the heat wave and dry wind and turned into a mummy on that damn enemy-killing hoverbike.
Of course, that kind of thing doesn't matter, because Padme just wants to drink a large glass of water now! Even if she is going to die later, even if her head will be cut off by those bounty hunters and soaked in a glass tank later, and collected by some damn Trade Federation governor, she just wants to have a good and big meal before she dies. Drink as much as you can!
Unfortunately……
There is nothing here!
When she just rushed in, she had already discovered that there was nothing in this village... no water, no food, no sand people, and no those 'friends' Anakin mentioned! This is basically a village that has been abandoned for a while, and what's even worse is: she and Anakin have been surrounded by bounty hunters, and it is very likely that they will never be able to escape or fight. The kind?
"Anakin?"
"What about those friends you just mentioned? Why is there no one here and I don't see anything?!"
After sitting down, Padmé, who was thirsty, felt increasingly uneasy.
Because she knew that now they were completely surrounded by at least two hundred elite bounty hunters, and some of the friends Anakin said before who could help them living here were not there at all. here! This is just a run-down village that has been abandoned for a long time. Apart from them and the enemies who have completely surrounded the place, there is really nothing else.
Therefore, when she was exhausted, endless fear and chill suddenly began to attack her, making her unable to help but shrink into what seemed to be the bed of the sand people, as if that would bring her a sense of security. generally.
"Hey!"
"I'm still here!"
Anakin held Padmé's face, which was starting to turn a little pale and her lips were starting to crack, and then looked at each other eye to eye for a long time before he asked:
"Listen, Padmé, look into my eyes, yes, look into my eyes...and I ask you, will you believe me?"
"..."
"Yes!"
After a while, Padmé nodded and recovered, her face became a little better, and the sad look on her face became much less severe.
"very good!"
"I'll go out to deal with them now. You just wait here and don't go anywhere until I come back, okay?"
Without waiting for the other person to say anything, Anakin leaned over and kissed the other person deeply, then quickly let go without waiting for the other person to respond and walked straight out of the door.
"..."
"!!"
"Wait! Anakin, I'm with you!!"
Finally, after a while, Padmé came back to her senses and subconsciously wanted to rush out of this sand people who did not know which one they belonged to. Many things inside looked very new and were not covered much by sand dust. house.
"!?"
"Hey! Anakin! What are you doing?!"
However, soon, as soon as Padmé opened the curtain door, she discovered: This small house seemed to be blocked by Anakin with a huge stone?
"Hello?"
She tried to push, but found that she couldn't push at all, and saw that there were no windows in this dome-shaped house. After calling the other party but getting no response, her feet gave way and she fell down. On the floor of the house covered with yellow sand, there was just a person waiting helplessly in the darkness.
"Anakin..."
She did not choose to yell, because she knew that Anakin must have chosen to deal with those vicious bounty hunters alone... because he was a powerful Jedi Knight, and she was just an ordinary woman. Her previous status as queen or current status as senator could not help him at all, so he chose to face it alone and fight to protect her?
so……
As she collapsed on the ground, she began to pray silently, praying that her warrior could destroy those enemies and return safely, pray that the impossible miracle would happen to them, and pray that the door that was blocked by the door would be opened. It was her hero who was holding the huge boulder, not the villains who rushed in with a grin and wanted to capture or chop off her head!
Anakin didn't know about Padmé's worries and prayers, so he used the Force to control a heavy rock to move over and completely block the abandoned house of the sand people, ensuring that Padmé inside could not come out to cause trouble or cause trouble. After seeing something he shouldn't have seen, he took a few steps into the darkness ahead, then stood still and asked softly to a pair of red eyes that began to appear in the darkness:
"Insect Swarm No. 1..."
"It's been so many days. How is your base on Tatooine developing now?"
Anakin no longer paid attention to Padme who was blocked in the house by him, nor did he pay attention to the bounty hunters in the distance who were surrounding the village where they were searching. He just looked at him with admiration. The tall and strong creature named 'Hydralisk' looked at it.
'Report to the great Master Anakin...'
'Insect swarm No. 1 is developing normally. In the cave below this canyon, we have successfully hatched the hatchery, red snake nest and splitting pool. The carpet coverage area has also spread to almost hundreds of thousands of square meters... …'
'But Master, the resources of this planet are too poor. I am afraid that the No. 1 insect swarm will not be able to develop to the scale of the No. 0 insect swarm...'
This unique hydralisk spoke in a language that only Anakin could understand, using that special 'hissing' syllable.
"very good!"
"What about the current troop strength situation?"
Anakin doesn't care about the development of the insect swarm, because he knows that they will adapt to the environment and overcome various difficulties to develop themselves. He only needs to issue orders and wait for the results.
'hiss……'
'Not counting larvae and worker bees, there are more than a thousand springtails, and more than five hundred hydralisks have hatched. The queen leading the No. 1 swarm is hatching, and it may take a while...'
"so……"
"Is the current total strength only a little over 1,500?"
"snort!"
"More than a thousand should be enough. You have also seen that there are two to three hundred bounty hunters out there. Are you sure you can completely eliminate them?!"
Although development was slow due to lack of resources, Anakin was still very pleased to be able to grow from a larva as thick as a finger to its current size in less than half a month!
After all, compared to the environment under Coruscant, Tatooine is still a little too difficult. With the corpses of the sand people at that time, he could develop to the present level, so he was not dissatisfied.
'Owner……'
'It's easy for the Swarm, very easy...'
"very good!"
"Within one hour, I want you to end the battle. No one of those enemies can be left behind!"
"etc!"
"Capture one of their leaders, I need to interrogate it... However, you try not to make too much noise, and don't let them have any chance to escape, do you understand?!"
Anakin said evilly.
Half a month ago, he single-handedly slaughtered the entire Sand People tribe here. Now, he wants to see if his No. 1 insect swarm can satisfy him and kill those who dare to hunt him and others. Padme's guys were wiped out?
'hiss……'
'receive……'
'Great Master Anakin, let's make arrangements now... It won't take an hour, at most a short while, and you will be able to see the results. '
'...'
After saying that, the Hydralisk lowered its head slightly and saluted Anakin, then slowly snaked back out, and quickly disappeared into the dark night, as if it had never appeared before.
"Yeah?"
"I'll be looking forward to it..."
Anakin, who has not really understood the true strength of the swarm, is a bit hesitant, but he is still looking forward to the first battle of the swarm! Now, those powerful bounty hunters, some of whom are not even inferior to ordinary Jedi Knights, will definitely be good experimental subjects.
…
The bounty hunters didn't realize what they were about to face. They still stared greedily at the two green figures on the life detector and groped forward little by little.
There is no doubt that in their opinion, a Jedi apprentice and a former Queen of Naboo who has little ability to resist and may even have no weapons will definitely not be able to escape their roundup! But now, the reason why they are still cautious is just because they are worried about accidental injuries and the Jedi Knight's dying counterattack.
They are here to make a lot of money. Since there is an absolute chance of winning now, under this situation, no one wants to lose their lives easily here.
'! ? '
'What's wrong? '
'That one you just jumped over, what's that? ! '
'What did you see? '
'have no idea……'
'Damn it! There is no response on the detector. Those two guys are still in front. Don't mess up the formation! quick! Keep searching, don't let the guys on the other side get the better of you! '
'yes! '
'...'
After a group of Mandalorian bounty hunter teams stopped for a while and confirmed that there was no abnormality on the detector and that their target was still in the middle of the village without moving too much, they began to move forward covering each other again, preparing to cooperate. Capture the most valuable and important target and kill the Jedi Knight at the same time?
However……
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
'! ! '
'Wow! ! '
'Well…..'
As waves of low-pitched sounds broke through the air, the Mandalorian bounty hunters who were walking in front and rushing in the fastest were accurately hit by something in the darkness, and fell to death instantly!
"What?"
'who is it? ! ! '
The Mandalorian who was lucky enough to survive saw that his companions were all wiped out in an instant. Even the Beskar metal armor that could resist lightsabers and blasters, that is, the Mandalorian steel, was destroyed by some kind of long straight weapon. After the sharp object penetrated, before he could raise the blaster in his hand and fight back, he saw in horror from his night vision device:
A monster with two strong hooves, ferocious fangs and claws, and spikes and small wings on its back suddenly jumped out from the corner of the wall and jumped towards him, and before he had time to buckle Before pulling the trigger, she bit him hard on the head!
Click!
'Hiss...'
'Woo...'
By the time the terrifying, leaping monster jumped away from the Mandalorian bounty hunter's headless body, there was not a single Mandalorian alive in this dark place.
On the ground, there were only those lying motionless corpses and a certain unlucky one, whose head was bitten to pieces even wearing a Mandalorian steel helmet, and white and red blood was flowing out. Liquid, just like the body of a hapless person without a head...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
'! ! '
'who? '
'Uh-huh! ! '
'not good! enemy……'
'Uh-huh~! ! '
At the same time, the same thing began to happen to the other teams of bounty hunters who invaded the village... Soon, after everything calmed down, those surrounding the village soon discovered that There are no life signals from our own team members, and there is no response even to calls?
Moreover, they had never come into contact with the two targets who were staying in the middle of the village. How come they all died inexplicably? !
'! ! '
'Damn it! ! '
'quick! Push our blasters over and blow up that village, the Jedi Knight inside, and that woman! ! '
Realizing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and seeing that all the hunters who had been rounding up and searching had been wiped out in a very short period of time, with not even a single one escaping, a group of bounty hunters who had gathered outside angrily yelled and prepared. Launch a bombardment.
Because they felt that it must be the fault of the Jedi Knight, and only the mysterious force that they did not understand could achieve the terrifying record of wiping out more than a hundred hunters in a short period of time! However, they had never heard of a Jedi warrior who could achieve that level. Therefore, they were a little worried and decided to use artillery fire to eliminate the opponent.
'? ? '
'asshole! Didn't you hear that? Push the blaster to me quickly...! '
A certain leader stared at two life signals in the village for a long time. He really couldn't figure out what was going on. Then he cursed angrily and used the night vision telescope with the life detector in his hand. He threw it to the ground, then turned his head angrily, intending to teach some disobedient subordinates a lesson?
puff!
Plop~!
Bang! !
However……
He was shocked to find that the subordinates who were still standing behind him swayed for a while, then fell straight onto the yellow sand, making a muffled sound. At the same time, there are actually long poisonous thorns with a penetrating green light stuck in their backs? !
"Damn!!"
A certain bounty hunter leader knew something was wrong and immediately reached for the blaster at his waist. Before he could draw his gun, a monster jumped over him and bit him off in one fell swoop. That was the arm that had just pulled out the blaster pistol.
'! ! '
'Whoaaah! ! ! '
Soon, a heart-rending scream sounded in the quiet desert wasteland.
Whoosh~!
Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
At the same time, behind various places in the bounty hunter's circle, ferocious-looking monsters suddenly emerged from under the sand, and stabbed those who did not react, or who did but reacted, with highly toxic armor-piercing spines. But under the horrified gazes of the bounty hunters who had absolutely no way to stop them, they pierced their bodies one by one, leaving them to die with their eyes wide open in the desolate desert surrounding the Sandman tribe...
'No……'
'Don't come here! '
'Do not kill me! '
'I can give you money, lots of money! ! '
Only the bounty hunter leader who had an arm bitten off was not dead yet. He just rolled on the ground. The yellow sand sticking to the wound prevented the continued loss of his blood, but it could not stop those densely packed wounds. Yes, the springtails and hydralisks surrounding him put tremendous pressure on his heart and the aura of terror that almost caused him to have a nervous breakdown.
"money?"
"Huh! They don't want your money!"
"Now...tell me, how did you track us, and why were you able to ambush here in the Akanis area in advance?"
Finally, as the terrifying insect swarm slowly and automatically made way for both sides, the Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker, who was walking over step by step, turned to someone with a gloomy face and rolled to the ground, looking very embarrassed. The leader of the bounty hunter pressed him.
'! ! '
'you! Who are you……'
I never expected that these terrifying monsters were actually controlled by a young Jedi Knight, which shocked the bounty hunter leader who had just been mourning and begging for mercy!
…
Half an hour later, Anakin returned to the room where Padmé was 'held'.
Then, when he used the force to move the big stone and walked in, a black shadow with a hint of fragrance suddenly rushed towards him from inside, and it seemed to be holding an iron rod in its hand?
"stop!"
"Padmé, it's me..."
After easily dodging and catching the iron rod that the other party aimed at his head, Anakin reminded him with a wry smile.
"!!"
"A-Anakin? Great, you're okay. I thought just now..."
Sobbing, after hearing clearly who the person was, Padmé rushed directly towards the black figure who walked into the house, and hugged him hard.
However……
"!?"
"etc!"
What shocked Padmé and made her heart tremble was that the other party actually reached out and started tearing her clothes apart after letting go of her?
"Don't!"
"Anakin...you! What are you doing?!"
And if it weren't for the fact that in the dark, she was 100% sure that the other person was her brave Jedi Knight Anakin based on his voice, tone, figure and smell, she would have thought that the other person was one of those who could do anything. Where's the bastard bounty hunter!
"..."
However, Anakin said nothing and continued to stretch out his hands and tear at the other person's body.
"!!"
"Don't!"
"Stop! What are you doing! Anakin, let go!!"
Hiss~!
"No!!"
Hiss~!
"ah!!"
"You! Don't come over!"
Soon, although in the darkness, no one could see anyone clearly, but Padmé herself knew that she was now smooth and smooth, and all her clothes had been torn off by the other party, including her hair accessories. remain!
Therefore, she could only grab the things around her and throw them at the other party as much as possible, and she could imagine what the other party would do to her next!
To be honest, if it had been another place, or a time when the atmosphere was better, maybe she would have followed it, right? But, it really can’t be done now. I’m thirsty, sleepy, tired, and scared... Apart from the urgent desire to escape from this place and have a better rest and eat, I really don’t want to think about anything!
What's more, what kind of hateful and violent method did the other party choose to use against her?
"..."
Bang~!
"Hello!!"
"Padmé, what are you thinking about? Come on, put it on quickly. The leader of the bounty hunter I just captured has already said that someone around you has been bribed, and they have a certain position on you. Device, I don’t know what it is specifically, so..."
"Wow!!"
Anakin had just thrown the new clothes towards the other party. Before he could say anything more, he noticed several blurry black shadows coming towards him. He was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided it and explained loudly. .
"You bastard!"
"Can't you say that kind of thing earlier and let me do it myself?!!"
Padmé yelled angrily and sadly. If she hadn't been in a dark room now, she might have seen the inexplicable redness on her cheeks, right?
"ah!!"
"H-I'm sorry! I, I didn't think that much just now, really, Padmé, I swear..."
Yes, Anakin was just immersed in the powerful excitement of the insect swarms under his command, and had no time to think about anything else.
After all, his insect swarm easily wiped out those powerful enemies without any losses. Then, in excitement, he hurried back after asking clearly why he was ambushed. , and even arbitrarily tore off all the clothes and hair accessories on the other party that might hide the tracker. How did he think about things between men and women?
but……
Now that he had come to his senses, Anakin felt uneasy and couldn't help but use the great force to focus on his own eyes and look at the other party... But unfortunately, the other party was already holding him Apart from the round and white shoulders, he couldn't see much in the ball of clothes he had just thrown away.
"you!!"
"Why don't you get out quickly?!"
Finding that the other party was still standing there, and that the blurry black figure was still sneaking around to spy on something, Padmé felt ashamed and angry, so she grabbed some of the Sand People's utensils next to her and moved toward The other party hit him hard!
"ah!"
"Okay, okay...Padme, hurry up. I just grabbed a spaceship. We'd better get out of here as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Anakin hurriedly ran away, never daring to do anything like watching the other party change clothes or other rude things...
