Chapter 10 - Arrival

After a few weeks of the invasion of Naboo the fighting became a standstill. The Trade Federation was starting to believe they made a grave mistake. They never expected Naboo to push them back as much as they have.To make matters even worse for them Queen Amidala and her Jedi friends finally reached Coruscant.

"Hello, Supreme Chancellor Valorum and Senator Palpatine."

"Hello, Queen Amidala, Master Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan."

"I'm sorry Chancellor and Senator we must get to the Temple right away. Anakin stay with the Queen for now we will retrieve you later." Finally noticing the boy Palpatine could feel that the force in him was strong. *It's seem's I have another interesting thing to ask the Queen.*

"Very well, I wish you safe travels." Both groups head there separate directions towards their own vehicles.

"Queen Amidala, what's the situation of Naboo." After recalling the events that took place before her escape from Naboo and time on Tatooine. Palpatine decided to get the answer to the Spartan who was taking refuge on Naboo.

"So these guards who saved you before meeting the Jedi, he stayed behind then? We must reward them. So who are they?"

"Two of them are Royal Guards, the other is a Manadalorian."

"A Manadalorian? Why did this individual protect you? They are mainly bounty hunters nowadays"

"Senator, for his privacy I would ask for you to keep this between the three of us." Both the Senator and Chancellor nod "The short version is we received what we believed to be a distress signal. We found him on that spaceship along with another Seventeen dead. He refers to himself as Spartan-016 Diesel, an elite special ops unit of Manadalorian nature. They came across an unknown enemy and were forced to retreat; the battle caused damage to the ship and left him stranded over Naboo."

"So why did he stay with you?"

The Queen ponders for a minute before answering "Code."

P.o.V. Swap Jedi Counsel

Master Qui-Gon and Padawan Obi-Wan entered the meeting and began explaining the circ.u.mstances of the Naboo and the events that ended up taking place on Tatooine.

"Meditate on this we will, you may leave now."

"Master Yoda, I bring one piece of news I would like to share with you. As this might be the will of the force."

"Mmmm?"

"It would be easier just to show you." At this point Obi-Wan walks over to the center and places the video recorder in front of the Grand Masters. The recorder displayed Diesel destroying droids like he was a walking tank.

"Interesting this is, who is this man?"

"Master Windu, unfortunately we aren't sure, according to the information that was given to us by the Queen is that he's a Mandalorian." Before any of the Grand Masters could respond Obi-Wan stepped forward.

"Masters, I don't believe the Queen was telling the truth in this matter, when we were stationed on Mandalore during the Civil War, not once were these "Spartan's" were seen or even mentioned. I believe that she was lying to defend him."

"Spartan? More Information you have, please tell you will."

P.o.V. Swap Senate One Day Later After Evidence

Before anyone could even bother speaking they were mesmerized by the Diesel trashing the droids like they were toys. The video was amazing and absolutely unbelievable how a lone man could fight like that.

"Who is the man that is fighting the droids in the video?" The entire refused to make a single sound, the only person who could was the Chancellor.

"That would be Diesel. He is a Mandalorian fighting on his own accord for Naboo, and no before you ask he is not a Bounty Hunter."

"Queen Amidala, as this involves our people now. Why is he fighting for your people if he is not a Bounty Hunter." This time the Mandalorian Representative took a step forward, they needed to show that they still had a neutral stance and were not providing support to the Naboo.

"Two things: one we saved his life as he was drifting in space over a year ago. Second, he said Code. From my understanding he is from an elite unit called the Spartans."

This caused the Mandalorians Representative to be stunned. Forcing them to sit back down reviewing the information they just received. They knew that this would eventually be viewed by the people. If a Mandalorian was able to fight such a battle and receive a large amount of "Honor" the old ways may return. This video alone could cause insurmountable damage to the current ways. This may change many Mandalorians.

After the Senate continued to discuss the blockade of Naboo, Queen Amidala finally pushed the Notion *Vote of No Confidence* of the current Chancellor.
