Naboo had fallen to the Trade Federation the first of many worlds invaded by the droid armies of the CIS. Escaping in the Storm shadow she had fought a hit and run battle with the young Jedi who had failed to save her world. She could tell the young girl was torn up inside over the loss of her master. An unarmed ship they had fled deeper into the unknown regions seeking new allies to liberate Naboo. The ship had run away from CIS cruisers and battleships limping along looking for supplies.

"Another cruiser dropped into the system" the sleek cruiser sped deeper into the system hugging the inner moons. Padme could see that the ships were launching fighters the new Naboo bomber was in the cargo bay. With the barge it made the entire room feel like a coffin she smiled they were so close. "Jedi you ready to earn you're keep" she asked over the com link she laughed they might live another day. she turned off the scanners like the ship lay dead as the nav computer calculated the next jump into hyperspace.
 
The young girl heard the message and was soon at the bridge were Padme was. "I am" she said to the young queen. With her master dead and many other jedi dead she was the only one on the ship, and was doing her best to develop her powers and stick to the jedi's code. She walked up next to Padme and bowed. "How may I earn my keep m'lady?" she asked soon standing up. The young girl and kept her thoughts hidden on certain matters, one of which was causing her a lot of turmoil. She had enjoyed Padme's company, and she craved to be with her, but it went against all jedi teachings. Anakin, the young girl, was having problems with concentrating and was doing her best to keep the thoughts out of her head.
 
The battle droid materialized on the bridge of the ship the Digitizer was a bizarre weapon it could turn a droid into data and send it through space. rolling behind her seat the blaster shot into the air landing in her hand. "Hold them off for" she looked at the read out before it was blasted into so much scrap metal. "five minutes" then the ship would drift free of the planets gravity well and could jump free.

she blasted back at least they were not super droids the small bridge had trouble holding the platoon of 16 droids. "You can take care of a few droids" she continued to blast over the chair taking a droid in the chest. she could see the Jedi was preoccupied with something but she had not time to find out what that was. she continued to fire for each droid knocked down one took its place in the line.
 
Soon blaster shots were flying theough the bridge as some of the loyal retainers of Padme and the droids battled it out. The young jedi was doing her best to not get hit dodging the shots and getting closer to the droids. Slowly slipping in and out of cover and deflecting a few shots she was able to get fairly close. She was having problems concentrating still worrying about Padme. She rose in front of some of the droids and began to cut them down, more and more kept coming but she slowly worked her way through the group pushing them back away from the bridge into a narrow corridor. She used the force on some moving them in the way of the shots to shield her from getting hit. Shots continued to rip through the droid and soon she threw the debris down at them knocking them down. She slowly began to retreat back into the bridge. "I-I can;t hold them up much more theres just to many of them" she said.
 
Padme tossed a grenade into the center of the mass the grenade was blown up by a droids blaster bolt. "Damn droids" she cured pieces of metal slammed into her body knocking her back at least she was not shot. Moments latter the ship jumped away out of the range of the digitizer and into relative safety. she was carried into the medical room much off her upper clothing removed so they could clean the wounds. she was then dressed in bandages more to prevent infection then to cover wounds.

"Jedi you can come out of the door" she could tell the jedi was there even without using the much vaunted force of hers. she smiled reaching out for his hand after the death of her handmaiden she had nothing to talk about. it was clear from the look on her face that she had something on her mind that she was keeping from her. The ship was safe from the CIS for the moment it would take some time to find her. if they were lucky they could buy some weapons from a trader and finnaly arm the stormshadow.
 
The young Anakin hurried up next to Padme. "This is all my fault" she said to her crouching next to the medical table. She had some tears in her eyes but she did her best to hide them, after all jedi were not supposed to show emotion. "I couldn't protect you well enough" she said to her. "I did my best and you still got hurt. I... I dont know if I can continue to do this alone we might need some help from other Jedi." Anakin sat there looking her over making sure everything was ok. "You... You'll be fine right" she said to her.
 
Padme wanted to laugh she was such a girl it made her only the more adorable "I am fine a few cuts and bruises" she would not have thrown the grenade if there was any chance that it could have killed her. "Why are you so upset i am just a spoiled princess" she asked brushing away the tears. how he had become a jedi she had no clue he acted like such a child at her age she was fighting a war. "come on don't let the others see you cry" she pushed herself onto her elbow kissing her on the head.
 
She blushed when she felt the kiss on her forehead. "M-m'lady" she said to her surprised. She pulled away from her. She stood up and looked down at her on the table. "I... I need to go" she said nervously. "Make sure we weren't followed." She stumbled out of the room nervously emotions running rampant through her head. She exited the room and leaned against the wall next to the door. She had no idea what to think, were the codes of the jedi wrong or was she just not concentrating hard enough. She contemplated her thoughts doing her best to keep Padme out of her head.
 
Dressing she inspected the cargo bay slash hangar bay the bomber had four engines to the two of the standard fighter. "C 3P0 do you know what is wrong with her" she asked the droid it seemed like she was turning more and more into a clutz. Sure she had gone through puberty but all the men on the crew were too old for her. "I do not know he seems distracted would you like me to ask her" asked the droid that would be just what she need having the droid try to ask her what was wrong. "No that is fine" she told the droid she hatted ware but had no choice on what to do about the CIS.
 
The young Jedi went back to her quarters and closed the door. She began to meditate, trying to clear her head. They were safe for now so it was as good a time as any to do it. She continued to cencentrate clearing her mind of all things, and now all she saw was white. She sat there as if in a daze, sitting in her room. She could sense the crew of the ship wandering around getting their work done, she could also somewhat hear their surface thoughts but when she got to Padme she stopped not wanting to know anything, she might have tried to seek out information about herself, and she didn;t want to go through her head. She just sat there begining to concentrate again.
 
She had the barge loaded with trade goods she may not be a queen anymore but she still knew how to trade. "Jedi get down here i need you're help" if they could get a few weapons they would not have to run from every ship. The merchant wanted to meet on a small moon covered in giant mushrooms. "If you don't come soon i am leaving without you" she was sure it was a trap but from the scans the weapons were there. she held her side the small wounds still hurt like a mother even now.
 
The jedi hurried to the where Padme was. She looked at her. "M'lady you are in no condition to travel" she said to her. "please Ill go get them alone, jsut stay here in the safety of the ship" she said. She looked out of the ship seeing giant mushrooms and some flying creatures, fairly small. "The wildlife might be dangerous" she said caring for her safety above her own.
 
she pushed past the girl there was no way she would just lay down and let her take all the glory for herself. "i am nit so fragile" plus she did not want the girl flying her skill was enough to tear most ships apart. she was also the one that had made the deal he was waiting for her an not for the jedi. "they only eat fungus" she informed her the creatures were big air balls that fed on the fungus that grew on the mushroom. she opened the hatch and piloted the small craft out of the larger ship. the planet grew in the window she was sure she would hate the planet it was like some giant drug trip.
 
She followed Padme. She needed to, for some reason she couldn;t bring herself into letting the young queen leave. Anakin made sure to keep up. "Im coming with you" she said over the com following closely behind her in an escort ship. "Now where are we going?" she asked her. The Jedi checked her scanneds making sure they weren't going into a trap. "M'lady we should jsut go in pay them and get out stuff and quickly jump to another planet." she said.
 
The meeting spot was atop a plateau that shot a k above any of the other surrounding features the tramp freighter was well armed "Foolish young queen to come with only one guard" a few droids fell from the belly of the freighter surrounding the pair in a matter of seconds. moments latter laser beams shot out reflecting of mirrors cutting the droids into small pieces.

"Looks like you should not underestimate Humans" the man fell to his knees begging for his life no doubt the separatist were on there way. the red light on her com told her that the ship had already detected an approaching enemy. she began walking to the freighter the traitorous merchant fell over dead clutching his chest.
 
The young Jedi landed her ship and quickly followed Padme into the Freighter. "M'lady I'll go first" she said to her. "Let me make sure its safe," she said hurrying up the ramp her lightsaber drawn. She looked trhough the ship with the force detecting nothing, it was empty. "It's safe" she yelled out going to meet Padme. "I didn;t see many weapons, there are a few, but they're all kind of... well small, nothing that will help us significantly." she said to her. "Thats just the stuff out of the boxes though."
 
The door slammed shut behind them activating a magnetic filed along with shielding. "great a trap i hope they have food in this place" and water or they would be dead in a few days. at least the CIS did not know they were on the ship or they could just blast them from orbit. "You Jedi search for food" she ordered as she began to look for water in the small tramp freighter. it was already a bad day that had just gotten a hell of a lot worse.
 
Anakin nodded and began to wander throuhg the ship looking through containers and bins for rations. She walked into one of the large cargo bays on the ship and peeks around opening bins that generally were empty. It seemed like it was almost empty, maybe the bandits had a ship elsewhere. She peeked her head into another set of bins and smiled as she saw about 5 days of food. ""I think I found some food" she said over the com to Padme. "It looks like we'll have enough for a while, we could stay here for a little under a week." she said. "More than enough time to get the door open."
 
Padme was on her hands and knees her shirt stained with blood her hand covered in thick dried red paste. "I think i need some help" she fell over on her back looking up she was sweating and breathing hard. she could see that Anakin was still looking through some boxes. "Can you help me" she begged reaching out to anakin she could see her vision growing cloudy as the blood continued to seep. "I think maybe i should have stayed in the ship after all" she was feeling bad. she could see that the blood was from the torn stitches all that excitement must have opened them up.
 
Anakin turned around looking at Padme. "Padme!" she screamed running up to her catching her. She slowly laid her down on the ground making sure to not open the wound up any more. "Theres so much blood" she said taking off part of her robe and pressing it against the wound to stop the bleeding. "Padme" she said slapping her cheek to keep her from going into shock. "Stay with me" she said watching as she began to drift of into unconsciousness. She looked around thinking to herself where she would find medical supplies.
 
"I should be fine" she told him blood streaked hand moving over her cheek she could feel him take her hand. she did pass out but the bacta tank near her was already on blood over the buttons her eyes closed. she was in a trance that her father had taught her as part of army training she had breezed over. now she wished that she had paid more attention she might not have ended up so hurt. "ill be right here anican" she was sure the crew would find the two of them maybe a day or two later.
 
Anakin looked at the bacta tank and quickly took padme to it. She stripped her down and put her in the tank. She was looking at her as she floated there soon turning away. "Alright I have to leave her in here for at least a few hours" she said to herself. She sat there her back to the tank thinking concentrating and collecting her thoughts. "Please be Ok" she said to herself.
 
she woke up unable to move greatly shoe looked around she was naked and cold she stayed in the bacta tank. "anakin " she tried to figure out what was wrong with her at least her wounds were all healed but she could not hear. "what do you need" she asked the computer maybe they could fly there way out of this. the trap was made to hold them for hours not days they could just jack the controls.
