in Padmé's Starship Obi Wan's hologram glows.
Obi Wan:"Y/n, my long-range transmitter has been knocked out retransmit this message to Coruscant"
Padmé touches a button then the blue hologram appears before the Jedi Council.
Obi Wan:"I have tracked the bounty hunter, Jango Fett, to the droid foundries on geonosis"
Obi Wan:"The Trade Federation is to take delivery of a droid army here and it is clear that Viceroy Gunray is behind the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala"
Obi Wan:"the commerce guilds in the corporate alliance have both pledged their armies to count Dooku and are forming a--"
Anakin:"Master, watch out!"
the holographic Obi Wan draws his lightsaber as a soldier droid attacks him and Anakin.
Windu and Yoda watch the hologram vanish then Yoda faces Windu.
Yoda:"more happening on geonosis I feel than has been revealed"
Windu:"I agree"
a hologram of Windu speaks
Windu:"Y/n, we will deal with Count Dooku the most important thing for you is to stay where you are"
Windu:"protect the senator at all costs that is your first priority"
Y/n:"understood, master"
Windu's image fades.
Padmé:"they'll never get there in time to save them they have to come halfway across the galaxy"
Padmé:"look"
planets appear on Padmé screen
Padmé:"Genosis is less than a parsec away"
Y/n:"if they are still alive"
He paces
Padmé:"Y/n, are you just gonna sit here and let them die They're your friends they're like your family"
Y/n:"I know but you heard Master Windu he gave me strict orders to stay here"
Padmé:"he gave you strict orders to protect me and I'm going to help Obi Wan and Anakin"
she faces the controls
Padmé:"If you plan to protect me you'll just have to come along"
as she activates the ship Y/n smiles and 3PO takes a seat.
C-3PO:"I'm not worried, R2 it's just I've never flown before"
the Silver Starship soars into the blue sky and disappears.
*****
The sleek starship soars toward geonosis and zooms over the planet's dusty rings.
later the silvery starship glides low through a Canyon of ruddy earth.
ahead three jets of steam billow from the ground.
Padmé:"see those columns of steam straight ahead? they're exhaust vents of some type"
Y/n:"that'll do"
He turns the controls and the ship moves toward one of the vents producing the steam.
as the white mist engulfs their craft Padmé and Y/n stand.
Padmé:"look whatever happens out there follow my lead I'm not interested in getting into a war here"
Padmé:"as a member of the Senate maybe I can find a diplomatic solution to this mess"
Y/n nods then follows.
C-3PO watches them leave then turns to R2-D2 who beeps.
C-3PO:"my obtuse little friend, if they had needed our help they would have asked for it, Hmm?"
C-3PO:"you obviously have a great deal to learn about human behavior"
outside the ship Y/n and Padmé cross a narrow footbridge to a thick mechanical door.
as they stare at it it lifts open.
stooping down, they walk through the doorway and enter a cave.
the door shuts behind them and they continue on.
later in Padmé's ship R2 swivels its domed head and Beeps at C-3PO
C-3PO:"for a mechanic, you seem to do an excessive amount of thinking"
R2 beeps again.
C-3PO:"I am programmed to understand humans!"
R2 beeps.
C-3PO:"what does that mean? that means I am in charge here!"
R2 lets out raspberry noises then slowly moves Away from 3PO.
C-3PO:"hey where are you going now? you don't know what's out there have you no sense at all? idiot!"
3PO follows R2-D2 outside.
C-3PO:"please wait"
R2 Beeps
C-3PO:"Do you know where you're going?"
meanwhile inside the cave Y/n And Padmé head through a dark tunnel
behind them the tunnel's jagged rock wall start to move.
dozens of lanky locust like creatures
emerge from the wall and peer at the humans.
Y/n:"wait"
he and Padmè stop
Suddenly he turns and activates his lightsaber.
as Padmé runs deeper into the tunnel Y/n fights off the creatures.
elsewhere R2 and 3PO halt has more frenzy creatures rush from an opening.
meanwhile Y/n holds off the geonosisans
as he and Padmé reach a door it shuts behind them and they find themselves on a short platform.
The platform retracts and Padmé falls
Y/n:"Padmé!"
He hangs from the door as Padmé lands on a giant conveyor belt.
on either side of her glowing metal slabs roll past robotic welding arms.
Y/n jumps to the belt and fights off flying geonosians with his lightsaber.
one fires a glowing ball of energy toward him and he somersaults under it then slashes the creature.
Padmé gapes as the belt carries her toward a powerful stamping press that slams down on the glowing metal, forging each slab into a round casing.
Padme's eyes fix on the press and she runs under it as it briefly rises.
she pauses on the moving belt then runs under another press, then a third.
dodging several robotic arms and flying sparks, Padmé continues down the belt.
meanwhile Y/n slices through several geonosisans with his lightsaber and jumps from the belt to an assembly line.
the foundry door opens for C-3PO
C-3PO:"oh, my goodness! shut me down!"
C-3PO:"machines making machines huh! how perverse"
R2 bumps into 3PO.
C-3PO:"Oh! calm down R2 I almost fell"
R2 does it again
C-3PO:"you get your chance--"
C-3PO:"Aaaaah!"
3PO falls onto a box carried by a flying droid.
C-3PO:"oh! I'm scrap"
an arm picks up The droid
C-3PO:"It's a nightmare!"
3PO clings to the arm
C-3PO:"Oh, I want to go home!"
C-3PO:"Ahh!"
the droid drops 3PO onto a conveyor belt
C-3PO:"Oh, what did I do to deserve this?"
at the doorway R2 legs straighten and a compartment opens revealing a rocket in each leg.
the droid blasts off.
on the assembly line Y/n swings his lightsaber at the robotic arms and they explode in showers of sparks.
a geonosian swoops down on Padmé.
they struggle on the conveyor belt and the creature pushes her into a huge empty Vat.
Padmé:"Ahhh!"
a claw lifts the vat and it glides along an overhead track.
inside Padmé reaches up the Vat's sheer wall.
in line with several others, the Vat moves toward a furnace.
meanwhile R2 flies through the foundry and 3PO stands on the conveyor belt.
C-3PO:"Hmm, I wonder what happened to poor little R2 he's always getting himself into trouble'
an arm wacks off 3PO's head and it lands among a row of Battle Droid heads.
C-3PO:"Oh no!"
3PO's body staggers onto a belt of Battle Droid bodies
one arm jams a pointy droid head into 3PO's neck and another welds it on.
Droid:"Uh-oh"
tongs place 3PO's head onto a battle droids torso
C-3PO:"Oh, I'm so confused"
meanwhile two Geonosians fire on Y/n.
the Padawan dodges the blasts then uses the force to sling a row of droid limbs at them.
he turns and with a thrust of his palm a machine flies into two other armed geonosians.
Y/n jumps straight into the air and with an acrobatic flip lands on a conveyor belt.
a mechanical welding arm swings into him, knocking him onto his back.
a press slams down on his arm and welds a heavy metal form onto it.
Y/n struggles to free himself
meanwhile the huge Vats continue on the overhead track
Padmé's Vat nears a nozzle that fills them with molten metal.
as Padmé scrambles for footing on the wall of her Vat R2 lands on a catwalk beside the nozzle.
sparks fly from one Vat as it's filled with molten metal.
on the conveyor belt Y/n frantically tries to free his arm from under the metal plate.
up ahead he spots a series of giant cleavers moving up and down
In the Vat Padmé looks up
the nozzle's Iris opens and molten metal fills another Vat.
in her Vat Padmé frantically tries to pull herself out.
as Padme's Vat moves under the nozzle she gazes up at its opening Iris
nearby R2 injects a tool into a socket and the Iris closes.
Padmé steps back and looks around.
R2 continues to work on the socket and a claw releases dropping Padmé's Vat to the floor.
as it tips over Padmé tumbles out.
on the conveyor belt Y/n nears the powerful chopping cleaver.
with his arm still welded down, he rolls onto his side narrowly avoiding two blades
nearing more cleavers, Y/n rolls side to side
a blade cuts into the part attached to Y/n and a piece of his lightsaber goes flying.
Y/n slides his arm free and gets to his feet
he draws his inactive lightsaber and then notices it's severed.
Y/n:"Oh no not again Obi Wan's gonna kill me"
several geonosians land around Padmé.
meanwhile wheel shaped battle droids roll in and unfurl as Jango Fett lands with his blaster aimed at Y/n
Jango:"don't move, Jedi!"
Jango:"take them away"
the droids surround Y/n.
