Chapter 18 - Aftermath (Short/End of Naboo Arc)

-Middle of the city of Theed-

"Before we begin. I would like to mourn the loss of all those who choose to stand against the Trade Federation. One of the earliest to join the resistance and a member of the Royal Guard Sid." After, going through some of the more prominent names in the resistance. The Queen had everyone take a moment of silence to show respect for those who died.

"Now, people of Naboo I would like to announce an alliance between the Naboo and the Gungan people. Without their help distracting the main force of the Trade Federation Army it would have been too impossible for everyone else to retake the City of Theed." The crowds go wild knowing they have an extra blanket of security and a new alliance partner. This small alliance would bring the people of both cultures benefits.

"I would also like to thank the Mandalorian's who came in our time of need. They help create the forward shield that saved hundreds of lives. During the siege of the Theed they were the first ones to clear the walls allowing for our resistance fighters to enter the city. They also lead the capture of one of the two federation sh.i.p.s! Ruray. Dith. Weinz thank you!" The three of them coming here were extremely pleased. They could clearly see from the people's eyes and cheering that the three of them were well respected for their contributions.

After going through a few more names on who people deserve thanks. People began to wonder when Diesel's name was gonna be called. Finally, noticing that the man was not on the platform with the rest of those who were getting the honors. The people were getting anxious. Where is the hero of Naboo, Where is the one who took charge of the resistance, where is the god of the battlefield. The people weren't having it. Everyone knew who the real hero was, and they weren't allowing him to escape without honors.

"DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL!" The chants interrupted the speech of the Queen, shaking the entire city. They wanted the planet's hero and they wanted him now. The Man left such an impression on everyone in such a short span. He gave them hope, he gave them a future

"What the hell is this? Is this Diesel? It must be! No wonder, Everyone is chatting about the man's name.

Queen Amidala looked up to the building behind her knowing that Diesel was hiding up there. pleading for him to come down. Remembering his words. "I'm a Spartan, I was Breed for war, I don't need the honors." She started pleading to him, the crowd noticed the Queen stare, realizing that she was more than likely looking at Diesel. The chanting became louder, until he finally showed himself to the public. jumping from the three story building landing on the ground below the platform. The cheers exploded!

"What do you guys all think?"

"We should invite him and the other three to join our cause."

"What happens if they choose to decline?"
