Star Wars : Episode I : The Phantom Menace

The life of a slave boy and his mother on the planet Tatooine is not a very interesting story. But add a slave boy who is an exellent pilot, and had an uncanny ability to see things and perhaps something interesting would come from it.

Tatooine's double suns was just setting as Anakin's mother called him in for supper. He sighed and put away his tools. Every day and night he spend working on this Pod Racer. Every hour that wasn't occupied with helping out at home of course. Once inside the house was warm but the meal was small. Better than most he guessed, but not much. Someday he would like to do things. Free his mother, see the stars...So much ambition for a kid.

Anakin and his mother talked over their dinner and when they were done they watched the suns set, glad that they had each other, ever if that was all. All Anakin wanted was to make things better for his mother, that was why he was determined to win the next race. Then he could help his mother, and she would be so proud of him. Deep inside that's all he wanted, for her to be proud of him.

Anakin woke early. That's how things were in his house. Early to bed and early to rise. His mother, Shmi, was already up, cooking breakfast Anakin supposed. He hurried out of bed and threw on his tan robes.
"Ani!" His mother called. "Anakin, breakfasts ready, hurry or you'll be late!" He rushed over to the table and took a seat beside his mother. They ate and talked, the two of them were very close.
With breakfast done Shmi got ready to go, and Anakin ran outside to check on a junkyard find of his. It's name was C3P0, and he was found in a scrap heap at Watto's 'junk yard'. He smiled and said goodbye to it. It's power flicked on and glowed. Then he ran out the door and both him and his mother went to where they needed to be.

A small ship in space. Small and fast enough to break through the Trade Federations Blockade. But as the occupants were relaxing warning buzzers began to go off. They had survived the Federations attack.
"There's not enough power to get us to Coruscant...the hyperdrive is leaking." Said the ships pilot.
"We'll have to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship." Qui Gon said, looking at a Star Map.
He was startled by his Apprentices voice. "Here, Master. Tatooine... It's small, out of the way, poor... The Trade Federation has no presence there. "
An argument followed, but the Jedi won, as usual. Tatooine was controlled by the Hutts, and although it might not be the best spot in the Galaxy, the Hutts weren't looking for the Queen.

The two Jedi's eventually made their way to the Cockpit. They were preparing to land. "There's a settlement...a spaceport, looks like." The Captain said.
Qui-Gon looked down. "Land near the outskirts. We don't want to attract any attention."
The Naboo spacecraft landed with dust stirring up all around them. Obi-Wan began to remove the hyperspace engine.

A small group, made up of Qui-Gon, Padme and R2-D2 entered the Mos Espa Spaceport and found themselves surrounded by junkshops. Obi-Wan had been left on the ship to protect the Queen. Both Jedi's had sensed something wrong, and this was for the best. So the group entered a smaller shop and were greeted by a blue, hummingbird like creature. "What do you want?" the alien asked.
"I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian." Responded Qui-Gon.
"Ah yes, ah yes. Nubian. We have lots of that. What kinda junk?" He paused. "Boy, get in here! Now!"
"My droid here has a readout of what I need."
Anakin came running into the shop, wearing dirty old rags. Watto raised his hand as to hit the boy and he flinched. "What took you so long?"
"I was cleaning the bin like you..."
"Never mind! Watch the store, I've got some selling to do here." The alien turned back to Qui-Gon, "Soooo, let me take- a thee out back. Ni you'll find what you need.
Artoo and Gui-Gon followed Watto to the back, leaving Padme and Jar Jar with Anakin. Anakin sat on the counter, pretending to polish a partm but was staring intently at Padme, who noticed his look and blushed. FInally after a few moments of silence he spoke. "Are you an Angel?" Padme looked at him confused. "An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the Moons of Iego I think. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirate cry."
Padme smiled, "You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?"
"Since I was very little, three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us, betting on the Podraces, to Watto, who's a lot better master than Gardulla, I think."
The girl seemed appalled. "You're a slave!?"
"I am a person! My name is Anakin." The two became silent and Padme began to look around the shop, Anakin kept watching her.

Watto came to a stop. "...Here it is...a T-14 hyperdrive generator!! Thee in luck, I'm the only one hereabouts who has one...but thee might as well buy a new ship. It would be cheaper, I think...Saying of which, how's thee going to pay for all this?
Qui-Gon showed him the credits, but the alien laughed. "Republic credits?!? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real..."
"I don't have anything else." Qui-Gon rose his hand. "But credits will do fine."
Watto refeused and Qui-Gon tried again.
"No, they won'ta. What you think you're some kinda Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don'ta work on me-only money. No money, no parts! No deal! And no one else has a T-14 hyperdrive, I promise you that."

Qui-Gon walked into the shop, pulling Padme away. The two barely had a chance to introduce themselves, but it was a name Anakin would never soon forget. Padme Naberrie. The most beautiful angel in the entire galaxy. Yet he looked sad to see her go.

As soon as he was done at Watto's shop Anakin raced onto the streets, eager to get home. You could imagine his suprise when he ran into the group from earlier having a very dangerous encounter with Sebulba. He got them out without too much trouble and the group began to walk. Vendors began closing down. A storm was on the way. "Do you have shelter?" Ani asked Qui-Gon.
"We'll head back to our ship."
"Is it far?"
"On the outskirts."
Anakin shook his head. "You'll never reach the outskirts in time...sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come with me. Hurry!"

"Greetings. We have perfect weather today for the Boonta classic. The most hazardous of all Podraces..."
"That's absolutly right. And a big turnout here, from all corners of the Outer Rim territories. I see the contestants are making their way out onto the starting grid."
Anakin looked around him. There were people everywhere, he dared say more then he had ever seen at any race. But soon he was ready and everyone said their goodbys. Qui-Gon walked up beside the boy. "Are you all set, Ani?" The boy nodded. "Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don't think. Trust your instincts...May the Force be with you." The older Jedi helped him into the podracer and walked away. Feeling only a little nervous he lowered his goggles and flipped a switch, starting the engines on the pod. But the instant he went to go the engine sputtered out. All the other pods, except on, swerrved around him, frantically he began flipping the ignition switch to get it started.
Meanwhile Padme watched Anakin in disappointment. He was there big chance to get off the planet, and now they were going to be stuck on the planet without a ship. She looked over at Qui-Gon, who had wrapped his arm around Mrs. Skywalker to comfort her.
But then Anakin's pod roared to life and he sped off down the track, leaving only on racer stuck, unable to start the engine on his own pod. Time passed, the crowd was tense, but the outcome was more suprising then anyone could believe.
"It's Skywalker! The crowd is going nuts!"
As Anakin's pod comes to a stop he is greeted by his family., his jedi friends and his other friends. They are followed closely by the rest of the crowd. They pull him from the pod and carry him away on their shoulders. As they celebrate two probe droids move through the crowds.
Qui-Gon had left the crowds, he had a deal to work out.
"You! You swindled me! You knew the boy was going to win! Somehow you knew it! I lost everything."
The Jedi smiled. "Whenever you gamble, my freind, eventually you'll lose. Bring the parts to the main hanger. I'll come by your shop later so you can release the boy."
"You can't have him! It wasn't a fair bet!"
"Would you like to discuss it with the Hutts...I'm sure they can settle this."
"No, no! I want no more of your tricks! Take him!"
Nobody seemed to notice the probe droid watching this. And it left unseen, to report back to it's owner. With the parts in hand the jedi went off to pick up the others and return to the ship, so they could begin repairs. "Start getting this hyperdrive generator installed. I'm going back...some unfinished business. I won't be long."
"Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form...?" The padawan asked.
"It's the boy who's responsible for getting those parts."
Qui-Gon found Anakin and handed the boy a bag full of money. He looked at them then understood. He took off at a run towards his home. "Mom, he sold the Pod. Look at all the money we have!"
"Oh, my goodness, That's wonderful."
"And Anakin has been freed." The Jedi added.
"What?!?" Anakin asked, looking at the older man.
"You're no longer a slave."
At first Ani was happy, and his mother stunned, and then her voice quieted, sadness sinking in. Anakin loooked at his mother, then at Qui-Gon. He had to choose, he had to decide whether to stay, or to become a Jedi and travel.
Everything seemed to be going well...at least until it was actually time to leave. After saying goodbye to his friends he took one look behind him and saw his mother standing in the doorway. He took off at a run towards her and gave her a hug. "I can't do it, Mom. I just can't." She looked at her son, and after a short discussion the boy wiped away the tears and his mother turned him to face Qui-Gon. Tears still in his eyes he walked away, determined not to look back. The Jedi and the boy made it out of the city and started towards the ship. They were almost there when Anakin, who was lagging behind spoke up. "Master Qui-Gon,sir, wait!"
Qui-Gon turned to answer, and spotted a Dark figure coming their way. "Anakin, drop!" The boy fell to the ground.

Qui-Gon, after telling Anakin to drop, jumps out of the way just in time. He had no idea who, or what this man on the speeder wanted, but he could sense something. This creature was not here by mistake. He pulled out his lightsaber.

Anakin and Obi-Wan rushed to the docking ramp, where Qui-Gon had just boarded. The ship took off, heading for Coruscant. Anakin looked at the older man. "Are you all right?"
"I think so... that was a surprise I won't soon forget."
His padawan looked at him concerned. "What was it?
"I don't know... but he was well trained in the Jedi arts. My guess is he was after the Queen...We'll be safe enough once we're in hyperspace, but I have no doubt he knows our destination."
Anakin looked back at Qui-Gon. "What can we do about it?" He caught the eye of Obi-Wan, who was giving him a 'who are you' look. The boy just smiled innocently.
Qui-Gon had obviously caught the look too. "We will be patient. Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Later, after all the introductions were complete all the occupants basically went their own seperate ways. The Jedi's to ponder this new development, the Queen to speak with her handmaidens, and prepare for their arrival, and Anakin to look around the ship. Soon Padme came to a room. She flicked on a moniter and watched a recording sent to her regarding the catastorphe on Naboo. Jar Jar is sleeping in a corner, but the girl senses someone watching her. She turns and sees Anakin, tears in his eyes, with his arms wrapped around him. "Are you all right?"
"It's very cold."
Padme handed the nine year old her overcoat. "You're from a warm planet, Ani. Too warm for my taste. Space is cold."
"You seem sad." He said, trying to start up a conversation.
"The Queen is...worried. Her people are suffering...dying. She must convince the Senate to intervene, or...I'm not sure what will happen."
"I'm...I'm not sure what's going to happen to me. I dunno if I'll ever see you again.." He paused and pulled something from his pocket. It was a necklace. "I made this for you. So you'd remember me. I carved it out of a japor snippet... It will bring you good fortune."
She put it around her neck and looked at the boy. "It's beautiful, but I don't need this to remember you. Many things will change when we reach the capital, Ani. My caring for you will always be."

Soon the ship was entering the Couruscant atmosphere. "Coruscant...the capital of the Republic...the entire planet is one big city."
"Wow! It's so huge!" Anakin stated, awestruck. On the platform below the ship waited a welcoming committee, one of them being Senator Palpatine. When the ship landed the group descended from the ship, Anakin stood off to the side, staring at the city, while the Queen bowed in front of the Senator and Supreme Chancellor.
"It is a great gift to see you alive, Your Majesty. May I present Supreme Chancellor Valorum."
"Welcome, Your Highness. It is an honor to finally meet you in person. I I must relay to you how distressed everyone is over the current situation. I've called for a special session of the Senate to hear your position."
"I am grateful for your concern, Chancellor." The Queen replied.

With all said and done the Jedi went one way, and the Queen, along with Anakin and Jar Jar went with Palpatine. In his Private meeting chambers the Queen and her handmaidens were seated discussing the situation on Naboo. "...the Republic is not what it once was. The Senate is full of greedy, squabbling delegates who are only looking out for themselves and their home sytems. There is no interest in the common good...no civility, only politics...its disgusting. I must be frank, Your Majesty, there is little chance the Senate will act on the invasion."
"Chancellor Valorum seems to think there is hope." The Queen stated.

Back with the Jedi, Qui-Gon stood in the middle of the jedi council. The Jedi were seated around him in a circle. Obi- Wan stood right behind his master. "...my only conclusion can be that it was a Sith Lord."
"A Sith Lord?!?" Mace Windu replied, shocked. The jedi went back and forth, stating their opinions and how, if by chance the Sith had returned, they would know about it.
"With this Naboo queen you must stay, Qui-Gon. Protect her."
Master Windu nodded. "We will use all our resources here to unravel this mystery and discover the identity of your attacker... May the Force be with you." With this said, Obi-Wan turned to leave, expecting to be followed by his master. Only Qui- Gon didn't move.
"Master Qui-Gon more to say have you?"
"With your permission, my Master. I have encountered a vergence in the Force"
"A vergence, you say?" Yoda said.
"A boy... his cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life form. It is possible he was conceived by the midi-chlorians."
This time it was Mace who spoke. "You're referring to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force...you believe it's this boy??"
"I request the boy be tested." The Jedi pondered this request then decided that they would test the boy.

Anakin walked down the hallway and stopped at a door. He softly knocked. A guard opened it. "I'm here to speak with Padme please." Ani said. From inside he heard a voice ask who was at the door. The guard turned. "A boy here to see Padme your Highness."
"Let him in" Anakin walked in the room and looked around. "I sent Padme on an errand." anakin looked sad. "But can I leave her a message?"
"Yes please. Could you tell her that I am to begin my Jedi training...I hope." The Queen just looked at him. "And I would like to say goodbye, I may never see her again."
The Queen nodded. "I will tell her, and I'm sure her heart goes out to you."
"Thank you your Majesty, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Anakin nodded and left the room. The Queen closed the door and smiled slightly.
