Chapter 5: Arriving at Theed Royal Palace

"Don't worry about it, you will be useful soon" I said to HK-47. "Now let's head out, we have some stuff to do."

"Statement: Following you, Master" said HK-47

"Okay-dokey, Master" said R2-D4

After we finished talking, I headed out to Theed to find Queen Amidala with my two new droids right behind me.

While we walked, I started training myself on feeling the force which was very easy to do and took me 4 minutes to get the hang of feeling and using the force. It must be because of my super high Midi-chlorian count in my body. While walking, I felt that the Force around me was strong and connected to me like it was a part of me. I felt that I could use the Force to do anything, I decided to try an experiment and try to do something that Darth Traya does. I started to use the force to lift my two lightsabers from my belt into the air while I continued forward with the lightsabers doing the same.

I used the force to turn the lightsabers on, one purple and one red, and then I started using the force to swing them both. After I did that, I recieved a notification.

'Ding' [You have learned the Skill 'Basic Telekinetic Lightsaber Combat']

After 30 minutes of using the Force to wield the lightsabers, I felt myself drained and stopped. I used the Force to but the lightsabers back on my belt. Even though I felt tired and drained, I also felt great knowing that I gained a useful skill which will come in hand when I fight future battles. I even felt that I could wield three lightsabers when with Force, and if I trained the skill and level up my Level I bet I could wield even more for a longer time but I feel I should save it as my trump card.

After walking for most of the day, we were almost at the city of Theed but it was night time so I decide to stop where we were and rest, well rest for myself since the droids don't need it. After the long walk, I laid down on the soft grass under the starry sky, looking at the beauty of the stars. I then closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, the sunlight shone of me and awakened me. I opened my eyes and sat up.

"Report: There was noting out of the ordinary while you were sleeping, Master." said Hk-47 "Statement: I wish there was something for me to kill."

After waking up, I felt a little hungry but I couldn't waste my time hunting when I should get to Theed soon and meet the Queen, I will use the Credits I have to buy some food on the way.

"Ok HK and RED, lets move out and head to the city." I said to the droids.

After half a day of walking, we finally arrived at the entrance into the city. The city of Theed was beautiful, with its domed buildings which maintained a handcrafted aesthetic. It was as beautiful as it was in the Star Wars games and movies.

The City of Theed consisted of many buildings, streets and alleys. The city's architect showed the Naboo People's artisitic nature. All of the streets were lined with blooming trees, and the public squares were decorated with beautiful gardens and fountains. The buildings were wonderful and magnificant as well with the sand colored brickes and there jade green dome roofs.

The main street were I am now was like a massive corridor and you can see two archways down the path. On both sides of the main street, there were mazes of smaller streets and alleyways through out the city. Beyond the two archways I could see my destination, the Theed Royal Palace which was clearly the largest building in the whole city. I began walking down the street with my droids.

While we were walking down the street, many people started to stare at us with curiousity and wonder. Some women even began whispering and gossiping about us, while some men just stared and then went on with their business. It is kind of easy to understand why they were staring at us with me dress like Darth Revan and my HK-47, a brand of droid so unique that its the only one of its kind. So people would be curious about a masked man and a never before seen droid.

I ignored the stares and kept my eyes on the Royal Palace. When I was was halfway to the palace, I noticed on my right was a small park with benches and fountains and on my left was a marketplace. While looking at the marketplace, my stomach started to rumble.

I headed into the marketplace and looked through of the inventory of the vendors looking for something to eat. I was then stopped by a little girl with a basket of fruit. that looked like apples

"Mister, would you like to buy a fruit?" said the little girl

"Query: Master, should I get rid of this tiny meatbag" said HK-47

"No, HK. It's alright" I said "Yes, little one. I would like to buy some fruit. "

"O..o..ok" said the little girl frighten by HK-47.

"How much are 5 fruits" I asked

"That will be 1 credit, please." said the little girl

I reached behind my cape with my right hand and used the Space Ring to withdraw 5 credits. The little girl but 5 apples into a little bag for me to take. While I grabbed the bag of apples with my left hand, I used my right hand to hand her the 5 credits.

"Mister, this is too much?" said the little girl

"Don't worry, little one. It's my gift to you." I said to her

I then took the bags of apples and when to the little park across the street. I sat down on one of the many benches while Hk-47 and R2-D4 stood behind me. I lifted my Revan Mask up just enough for me to eat two of the apples while not letting my face be seen by people.

After eating two of the apples, I put the last three in my space rings and got up from the bench. I then head to the Royal Palace. When I finally arrive before the Royal Palace, I can see the wide front steps leading up to the palace with the steps lined with statues of the Naboo deities. At the top of the steps were towering pillars standing firm before the palace doors.
