	This was my first fic on this forum. It's been ongoing since dec 2000, long before Eps 1 was released. I decided to transfer it to this forum because I still have to finish it. Anakin is assigned to protect the Queen of Naboo from plotters who mean to kill her and take over her throne. They end up fleeing through the Naboo swamp and dense jungles where little by little the two become aware of each other's feelings. The two are captured by a jungle tribe with unusually strange customs, and before they know it the two are pulled into local politics and have no choice but to go along. The situation is just as our young Jedi would have it but things may not be so smooth for the Queen. -----signature----- Knight of Darkness (Vad/Pad romance-ROTS AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/11375224/p1 Anakin and Amidala-Love found (TPM AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17690895/?328

	Welcome Jazz. Your the first reader on this thread (always special) I was supposed to post right after the intro but something pressing came up and so I'm posting it now. Since this is a repost I will be posting regularly, at least till I come to the uncompleted part. ***************************************************** LOVE FOUND POST 1 Anakin raced madly through the catacomb of corridors within Theed palace, adroitly guiding the speeder bike through the crisscross of droid fire which seemed to be coming from every corner of the palace. Moving at an incredible speed through the narrow corridors, he needed every ounce of his Jedi instincts and reflexes to avoid crashing to the walls. Even then, they would have been sitting ducks if the Queen, seated behind him, was not as skillfully picking up targets with her blaster making the enemy run for cover-and giving them enough room to maneuver. The years of training on the firing range had made her a deadly shot. ******************************************************* Nearly ten years after that fateful invasion by the trade federation, in which hundreds of peaceful Naboo had lost their lives, the planet, enjoyed relative peace and stability. Their Sovereign Queen Amidala had ruled with wisdom, the war and its destructive reminders were gone. Naboo had prospered much and the queen was very popular with her people, except a handful of bureaucrats, who had once enjoyed unbridled power but their authority had been curbed much in Amidala's reign. They were growing impatient; it seemed there was no way to remove her the democratic way. Repeatedly she had been re-elected to lead the people, frustrating her political rivals, who came out with new election strategies each election year, only to be completely routed by her again and again. This very popularity was now threatening her life. Just days before the queen had been attacked, by a palace servant with chi dagger -a small and compact weapon with a poisoned blade tip. Had Obi-wan Kanobi not been around to cut him down with his lightsaber, she would not have survived, for, even a small scratch from a chi could be fatal. It seemed her enemies were getting desperate; they were now ready to try anything to get their hold on the Naboo seat of power. Agent Braak, a trusted servant of the queen arrived one day, asking to see her immediately saying that he had very important news for the Queen and that he had to meet her personally. When the queen met him in her private office, she was very alarmed by the news he had to give. The queen called an emergency meeting of her council to discuss this new development. Braak gave details of a rebel army that had been training for sometime now in the Western Mountains. He said that he had come across details of an attack on the queen. According to the plan group of rebels would attack the palace, after assassinating the queen and securing the palace, the very people who were behind the plot would come forward and squash the rebellion. Exemplary punishment would be met out to the leaders of the rebellion (at least overtly) thus avenging the queen and saving the planet from chaos and anarchy. By avenging the queen they would earn the approval of the populace and their votes too. The queen suspected palace insiders to be involved in this plot. She could name a few who would love to be in her place, but there was no solid evidence to incriminate any one. They were very clever hiding behind their pawns and manipulating them from afar making sure their dirty fingers didn't leave any imprints anywhere. Braak reported that a man called Captain Halle was leading the rebellion. Not much was known about him, except that he was an ex-mercenary. The report said that the size of this army was quite large. This surprised her because Naboo people including the Gungans and the indigenous tribes were not good candidates as rebel recruits. Either this was a misinformation, which she doubted because the agent was a reliable one, or the rebel army was comprised of off-world mercenaries, which to her seemed more likely. -----signature----- Knight of Darkness (Vad/Pad romance-ROTS AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/11375224/p1 Anakin and Amidala-Love found (TPM AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17690895/?328

	************************************* POST # 2 After considerable debate, it was agreed that the queen's life was in great danger; she had to be protected at any cost to foil the rebel plans. Because she was an obstacle to the power plans of these people they would not spare her life at any cost. It was decided that the queen should go to a safe place till this was all sorted out. Captain Panaka was advised to call up for his recruits and mobilizes the army. Braak 's men were to stay low and try to find out the identities of the main players of this plot. As no place on the planet was quite safe, the council decided that the queen should seek asylum on another world friendly to their government. According to plan the Queen decided to make an unofficial visit-surreptitiously-to the planet of Handara, Which was a reliable ally of Naboo. The Naboo had helped them in their time of adversity. The Queen had good personal relations with the leader of that planet-the old Saji-who had been chief tribal leader for over five decades. The queen was sure she could rally his support and help her save her people against yet another attack on their peace and independence. Handarians were, the queen assured the council "not ones to forget when it came to repaying gratitude" After the trade federation war, Naboo had made several changes to their constitutional laws. One of them being the formation of a regular army along with making one-year service in the army made compulsory for all adult Naboo citizens. But even with these new measures the security requirements of the planet could not be met adequately Small Naboo depended mostly on the assurances of the republic, which made new laws to insure the independence of smaller planets; the laws even promised military intervention to preserve the sovereignty of all the member planets from outside threats. But all the laws of the republic could not help Naboo this time She was under a new threat this time; a threat from within. Queen Amidala had called in her head of security captain Panaka along with her Jedi protector Master Obi-wan Kanobi, and a couple of Panaka's men to discuss the details of the escape. The meeting was held in strict confidence, as the rebel spies had infiltrated all strata of the palace staff. It was decided that captain Panaka would arrange an outing for the Queen, her handmaidens and some selected confidants on Lake Zamron on the out skirts of Theed City. The Queen would go by speeder through the city, joined by two handmaidens and the royal guards and several ministers, but instead of the real Queen it would be her decoy Sabé, who would be traveling in the royal entourage. While public attention was focused on Sabé, Amidala disguised as a handmaiden would slip out of Theed city on Anakin's ship, which he lovingly called "the Sith', the one that they had captured after the fall of the trade federation. The Sith infiltrator was Darth Maul's personal transport but after the Federation's defeat in the trade war and Maul’s death it came into Naboo hands. Anakin had fallen in love with it the moment he had seen it. Manufactured by Sienar Designs Systems. Originally it was an armed star courier but was customized secretly by Darth Sidious to serve as a Sith Infiltrator. It Featured laser cannons, advanced sensor systems and an experimental ion engine system requiring large radiator panels which folded inward during landing. Its most dangerous aspect though was its cloaking ability; able to appear and disappear like a flickering ghost. In acknowledgement of Anakin’s roll in the destruction of the federation mother ship and the subsequent victory over the enemy, the Queen thought it fit to reward Anakin with this ship for his bravery that day. Obi-Wan and the Queen both decided he would not get actual possession till he was eighteen years old though. Till then it would sit here in Naboo. ‘The Sith’ craft's excellent cloaking capabilities and maneuverability made it the transport of choice for such an escape. With Anakin at the controls it was unstoppable. The royal ship though was more susceptible as it was unarmed. And it stood out like a sore thump when it came to sneaking. The queen could not escape in it, as she would be noticed. And it would arouse suspicion if a handmaiden were to use it on a private trip. So while Halle's men were watching the Royal Cruiser the queen would slip by in ‘the Sith’. Anakin-who at the time was working on a top secret military project at the ultra secret Thal Weil military base-was called up to bring ‘the Sith’ to Theed. Amidala feared for Sabé's safety, as she would obviously be more exposed to danger. Obi-Wan and captain Panaka along with two contingents of palace guards were assigned to her safety. A small group consisting of two handmaiden and four guards and of course Anakin was assigned to Amidala's safety, small so as not to arouse any suspicion as they sneaked out to the hanger. Captain Panaka was apprehensive though about the arrangement, as he did not believe a Jedi student, hardly out of his teens, could be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, but Obi-Wan had complete trust in his padawan's abilities. Besides, he argued with Panaka that if one of them were to be seen guarding any one other than the queen people would wonder why? Panaka decided that Obi-Wan had a point there. So it was agreed that Anakin would escort the Queen to the secret base. -----signature----- Knight of Darkness (Vad/Pad romance-ROTS AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/11375224/p1 Anakin and Amidala-Love found (TPM AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17690895/?328

	Thanks for the up, qtrhrs. Here is the next part. ******************************************************* POST NO# The Queen's party would leave by boat to the island retreat on the other side of the lake. Queen Amidala often went on picnics there usually with her family or friends, so nothing would really seem out of place. It would be most likely that the enemy would have covered all the possible landing spots along the lakes perimeter, the air routes would be covered too but no one would think about the Queen leaving on another route; the under water route. Panaka had arranged for a Gungan bongo to wait by the retreat and spirit them away through an underwater cave that joins the main underwater route deep inside the planet. Once in the underwater labyrinths, there would be in no danger of being discovered. Naboo was practically made up of a maze of intervening bodies of water and rock. The surface of the planet was covered mostly in swamp, except for islands of solid rock out cropping up here and there. Low hills and flat rolling plains mostly stretched to the east and southeast of the planet. The only mountains of significant height were situated to the west. Besides Lake Zamora many huge lakes dotted the solid surface of the planet. Caves and underwater tunnels interconnected the majority of water bodies. One could travel to any part of the planet within these tunnels. But traveling in these tunnels was extremely dangerous, a huge variety of animals, some still to be discovered, lurked in these dark waters. These route though dangerous were not impossible to cross, with a good guide-a Gungan guide-one had a much better chance of making it to ones destination in the quickest time. Once on its way the bongo would head for Thal Weil a dense swamp to the northwest. There, Sabé's party would meet up with the queen's party and after a short inspection of the facility by the Queen they would take off for their off-world destination. That cleared, Queen Amidala brought up the question of the droid army; which made up a considerable part of their regular army. The leftover of the federation forces; these had been refurbished and reprogrammed to follow Nubian orders. But Queen Amidala never did trust them. She preferred her human guards to the droids, especially to guard the palace. The droids though were invaluable for patrolling and monitoring the swamps and other outlying areas of the planet. The droid control center was located several hundred miles to the west on mount Nagob, amongst the highest peaks in Naboo. Panaka had assured the Queen that the center had been well fortified with heavy guns and more than a hundred soldiers to keep constant guard. The Captain was certain the high peaks and the shear slopes around the facility made it impossible to breach it from outside. Amidala had not been convinced; she had secretly constructed another control center in the swamps of Thal Weil, for emergency backup purposes. This one practically under the swamps and it had cost a good chunk of the budget, which, to Panaka had seemed a superfluous expense, considering the fact that they would need all their resources for the Freepios project. All had gone as planned. The queens' luggage had been smuggled aboard the boat the night before. Sabé and her party left for the picnic. As it was a holiday and nice sunny weather to go with it, a large percentage of the populace lined both side of the street to see their queen go by. The trip was made without a hitch. -----signature----- Knight of Darkness (Vad/Pad romance-ROTS AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/11375224/p1 Anakin and Amidala-Love found (TPM AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17690895/?328

	You read it all! Actually I need(badly) to reread not only this fic but all the others. I've started them so long ago I hardly remember most details. Nevertheless I'm hoping to catch up soon because most of the posts need little or no work. -----signature----- Knight of Darkness (Vad/Pad romance-ROTS AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/11375224/p1 Anakin and Amidala-Love found (TPM AU) http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17690895/?328
