"True." Nait shrugged. "We're number one on Vader's hit-list, sorry to say. He's dead set on taking out our guts and feeding them to nek battle dogs."
"We need you to go to Incom Station as a representative of the Alliance. Get them to come on our side." Bail grimaced. "Then to Koensayer. If you don't manage to sway Koensayer, steal a Y-Wing so Incom can make them and sell them to us. Koensayer may not join."
"Great..." Nait said. "Good luck with that, guys. I get to go to Naboo."
"May not be as pleasant as you think it is, Nait," Sabe said. "The Imperials have been trying to take control of that planet for a few months. The Queen cannot stall for much longer."
"I don't want a fourteen-year-old girl die because of me." Padmé looked at them all. "Apailina is strong, but she's a just a kid."
"So am I," said Nait. "But you trust me enough to be your bodyguard."
Padmé smiled at him. "When do we leave?"
"Five hours," Bail said. "Thank you for your time, Senator. Captain. Jedi." Bail bowed to them. "Padmé, will you come with me. There's someone you need to say goodbye to."
Leia. Nait could feel the name pop into Padmé's head. "Yes," she said. "Thank you for reminding me."

After the meeting...
Fi Kal became Fi Taban.
Selas and Fi were married that afternoon. Both said thier "I do's". They became as one, instead of seperate beings.
In the end, it was a great day, Selas thought. The best day of his life.
The next day...

Naos
As I layed on my bed inside my quarters of the Killer, I kept turning. "No.....no.....SCOUT!" I yelled then suddenly shot up, sweating heavily, and looking around
I had another dream....that same person, who "struck" me down in that dream a few weeks ago. Whoever that was was standing right in front of Scout, a scared Scout, and then killed her. The Sith laughed....a laugh of so much darkness.
Who is that? Do they exist? I thought
I looked at the chrono and saw it was getting time to wake up anyway. I grabbed my shirt that was under my bunk and then slipped it on, and stood up. I leaned under my bunk to grab something else and pulled out my worn boots. It had been a long time since I had actually been able to lie down and remember to take my boots and shirt off.
I sat back in the bed and put my feet into the boots, then strapped them and left my quarters and headed to the cockpit to see where we were.

MARIEL
Mariel shifted about anxiously. Her fingers tapped against her arms as she paced backwards and forwards in her quarters. This 'Rebellion' thing everyone was planning, while a splendid idea, gave her chills; particularly as she was on the Most Wanted lists, due to her Jedihood.
"I wonder if I can disguise myself...?" she pondered.

Fighting was the only thing she could do, now. There was no second way out. No talk could dissuade her enemy. She couldn’t escape, trapped in that steel box. Nait looked at his sister through a translucent window. He tried to break it, to get to his sister, but someone was holding his back.
“No! I have to help her!”
Lighting from her enemy rained down on her, and though she absorbed most of it with some unknown power, her defenses slipped just a fraction. She was put on the defensive, powerless to stop this masked figure. Somehow, a man, glowing white, stepped THROUGH the glass and into the battle. Now it was two against one. The shadows started to grow, and grow, until all you could see were the lightsaber blades. White Man was somehow pushed back through the glass. He tried to get back to help, but the glass was shut.
Nait saw Scout’s lightsaber fall into the corner, deactivated. The masked figure took his red sword, and brought it up over his head. Scout tried one, last, desperate defense by taking the hilt of the lightsaber. Now it was tug of war. Scout’s hand slipped and…
The lightsaber came down, right through Scout’s heart. And all her memories, all her happiness, love, and affection, could be seen flying away. The dark figure which struck her down entered through the hole in her heart, and it was filled with anger, malice, and the will to obey who she called her Master…
Nait’s eyes snapped open. The first thing he noticed was the durasteel floor. How’d he get there? He looked up, and saw the bed. He could’ve sworn he fell asleep under the covers up there. Instead, he was on the floor, blankets discarded next to him. It was cold. He realized that was just him, and the temperature was precisely seventy-nine degrees. Not too cold, but not too warm, either. Shivering, he got up and moved towards the small closet to his left. Had Naos had the same dream?
He pulled on his favorite working cloths: dark pants with multiple pockets for storing small weapons, a dark blue shirt with the words ’My mommy thinks I’m special’ written on the front and back. He pulled on a jacket, too, then his traveling boots. Making sure he looked as un-Jedi as possible, he slipped his lightsaber on the deep right pocket of his pants. The ultimate disguise. Then, taking out two spray bottles, he placed one on the floor. Hefting the other one in his hand, he aimed towards his hair. Closing his eyes tight, he sprayed his hair.
Two minutes later, he opened his eyes. His hair, now a bright orange, was both flashy and disturbing. He put the hair color down, and picked up the next can: Spray-On Sun-Tan. He smiled and raised and arm, spraying it just like he would spray what Jaskia called “men’s perfume.”
Then the contacts came next. They were specially designed, a gift from Bail. He decided he wanted both eyes to be sky-blue, like his sister’s. Carefully putting them in, he looked at his reflection.
The perfect disguise.
And, leaving his quarters, he silently thanked Bail for letting him color his hair.
--
“Are we on Naboo yet?” Nait asked, feining a whiny teenage-sounding voice.
Padmé turned around and jumped. Wide-eyed, she looked at Nait. “Too bad we couldn’t get synth-flesh,” Fi said, coming up behind him. “Put a little more baby fat around your cheeks. You have virtually none. Where’s you lightsaber?”
Nait grinned. “Just don’t hit my hip or anything, okay?” He pointed at the pocket.
Padmé laughed.

Sora
I sat in the cockpit of the Killer as it orbited Naboo, and I was waiting for confirmation from Queen Apaliana that we could dock inside her Palace. I sighed, hoping Padme wouldn't get herself killed going back to her home and meeting the Queen. Vader could get suspicious, or if Apaliana had shown signs of disobedience already that could prove bad.
She had Fi, Nait, Naos, and Sabe to protect her. They were strong, and so was Padme. It wouldn't be easy even if the Empire did attack.
Finally the comm beeped and I immediately jumped up from the pilot's chair and answered it, and I said "This is Captain Trok."
"Captain Trok, the Killer has permission to dock in the Royal Palace of Theed, and Queen Apaliana requests an immediate meeting with the ambassador you have brought along...." a male voice said
"Thank you. We'll be right there." I said and cut the communication
I breifly walked back to the main hold area, where Padme, Sabe, Nait, Fi, and Naos were "We're in." I said simply then turned and headed back towards the cockpit to get the Killer to Naboo
I went back into the cockpit and sat down in the main pilot's chair and began to turn the Killer in the direction of Naboo, and began to slowly bring it down into the atmosphere. I thought about how many people who were once a crew member on this ship were gone. Jorran and his family were killed by those creatures that had boarded that Star Destroyer of Death, Elana and her droid were both killed in the Battle on Lok by Imperials, Trika and Caleb had mysteriously gone off, with Trika telling me it was very important and I wouldn't see her for a long, long time. Kossk and Chok had chosen not to come along to Aldeeran, Chok saying he wanted a break from having to see that big butt of Nait's, Kossk saying he wanted to stay in case anything happened but would somehow try to guide us. Leihi had taken her son Carack and run off, leaving just a message saying it was time she got away from the Empire, but leaving Shao there because she couldn't bear to even speak to her own daughter after that discovery. HK-47, HK-77, and R7 were all shutdown for the moment in the Cargo Hold. I didn't necessarily need them activated right now. Chao had gone to help Nym and the pirates after Lok, knowing she was more needed there. The Clone Squads, Etain and her son, Shao, Nack, Erin, Kossk, and Chok were the only ones on Kamino.
I shook my head, trying to get myself out of thinking, and then stared out the viewport as we entered Naboo's atmosphere, and slowly the Killer went through the large wall of clouds with small spaces in between in the sky, and slowly the city of Theed came into sight. I had not been to Naboo that much before, if ever. I knew it's coordinates, though. And knew it was supposedly a beautiful planet. Whoever told me that was right. I was glad Padme got to come here again, to see such a beautiful sight again that to her was home.
I headed towards Theed, and could tell the very, very large buildig towards the end of the line of buildings was the Palace. I piloted the Killer directly towards it, and as I got closer to it I circled around to see where the docking bays were. I saw several, one that was empty except for barrels and plasteel cylinders here and there. I slowly turned the Killer toward it and punched in the button to make it go into docking mode, and it slowly floated into the hanger and sat down.
I extended the exit ramp once the ship was finally down, then I got up from the chair and headed towards the ramp.
I walked through the halls a little ways and then finally got there in seconds but seemed like minutes, and walked down towards several guards approaching. Before I went down I noticed Padme, Naos, Nait, Fi, and Sabe approaching from the other side of the hall.
I saw a man in blue robes behind the guards, and he said "You must be Sora Trok. I am the Governor of Naboo, a close freind of Queen Apaliana."
"Yes, I am. I'm pleased to meet you. I have brought the Ambassador, who I couldn't reveal to you over a comm unit.....you'll see for yourself."
I turned as Sabe and Naos were at Padme's side as the group walked down the ramp, and I heard a slight gasp escape from the Governor.

MARIEL
A few moments after Sora had walked down the Killers ramp, Mariel followed out. As opposed to her usual scandalously sheer clothing, she was now wearing a long grey weatherproof coat and a flophat with a silk scarf covering her face. Her face, or what was visible of it, had a pained expression, as if the plain drabness of her garb was physically hurting her.

"Governor," Padmé said gravely. "I'm glad time has not changed you as quickly as I had thought it would." She smiled at him, and reached foreword to shake his hand. He took it. "I'm not dead, not yet. There's still work to do." She met his eyes, conveying all of her impatience and insistency in that one look. "I need immediate audience with Queen Apailana."
Nait stepped foreword and stuck out his hand. "Hi, I'm Nait Gash," he said brightly, "And I'm number two on Vader's hit-list."
"Does anybody know we're here?" Fi asked urgently. "We cannot be discovered by the Empire."

MARIEL
Marie joined the group silently. She studied the Governor carefully before nodding her head. "Mariel." she said softly, trying to take the pained look from her face as she spoke.

Sora
The Governor shook Padme's hand back and he said "She requested one with you immediately, she seems to have been expecting you. We were contacted by Bail Organa saying an important person with a very important message regarding the Empire....."
The governor then shook Nait's hand and greeted him, and Naos bowed "I'm Naos, one of Miss Amidala's bodyguards." he said to the Governor
Sabe bowed and said "You might remember me, Governor. I am Sabe, the decoy of the former Queen when she was Queen and one of her handmaidens."
"Good to meet you all." the Governor said as he slowly backed up "Now we must hurry and meet with Queen Apailana. This is a matter that cannot be ignored."
The guards turned and the Governor looked at me and said "Thank you for bringing Miss Amidala here, Captain Trok."
Then the Governor turned and he led the group out of the hanger, I looked to Padme beside me and before she went, not even thinking, I kissed her on the cheek.
It wasn't until five seconds later I realized what I just did.
