Chapter 1238: W-What Kind of Monster Is That?!
Anakin really never imagined that ten years ago, he, his teacher, and those Jedi Masters would be caught here on this planet and almost shot to death! And ten years later, when he had grown up and successfully transformed from a slave child of Tatooine to a rich and handsome Jedi, he was once again captured here by the Separatist League, and hastily tried and sentenced to death on the ridiculous charges of 'espionage' along with Padmé and a certain Obi-Wan, who was also unlucky enough to be captured here twice?
But for now, he didn't worry too much......
It wasn't that Anakin wasn't afraid of death, but that he had calculated the time several times and came up with a slightly dangerous figure for them? Anyway, at least, he felt that what was happening was within his acceptable range.
Because, instead of directly pulling the three of them out to target the battle robots, those damn Geonosis people thoughtfully held a 'farewell' ceremony, as if they wanted to let countless Geonosis people witness the death of the three of them in some kind of ritual in this huge ancient gladiatorial arena-like place?
And this is Anakin's chance!
So, he gladly cooperated with the movements of the Geonosis, watching them escort himself onto a hovering chariot and walk around the huge arena, allowing them to tie him to one of the four stone pillars in the middle of the arena and howl with enthusiasm after the demonstration.
And when the insects-like Geonosis tied him up and flew away, he realized that Padme and Obi-Wan, who had arrived before him, had been tied to the stone pillar for a long time.
"Padmay!"
"Great, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here to save you......"
After watching the Gionosis tie themselves up in chains to the stone pillars and leave, Anakin smiled and said to the Padmé beside him, who had been staring at him in disbelief.
Although, what he kept saying about running to save Padme didn't seem convincing at all?
"You ......"
"Anakin!"
"I don't understand, what are you ...... Wrong! Why are you here, aren't you supposed to be in Naboo or have already returned to Coruscant? ”
Thinking about the fact that Obi-Wan detected that Anakin was still in Nabu before he and the others were arrested, Padmé couldn't help but ask with some surprise and a hint of sadness.
Although she was happy to be able to see each other again before she died, it should never be like this!!
"Of course I'm here to save you!"
"The Trade Alliance's warships have attacked Naboo again, and I know that this negotiation must be a conspiracy, so I rushed to save you as soon as possible!"
Anakin hurriedly explained.
However, he didn't say anything about what happened on Naboo, and he didn't say anything about his own swarm that had wiped out the Trade Alliance's fleet attacking Naboo, and that he was sending the extremely powerful insect warship 'Leviathan' to Gionosis.
"Anakin ......"
"I'm not afraid of death, it's just ...... It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, it would still affect you......."
"You shouldn't have ......"
The other party can come and can save herself as soon as possible, Padmé said that it is impossible not to be moved, but she doesn't want to see the other party run to death so recklessly, because it is not worth it, it will only make her more sad and self-reproachful in addition to being moved!
"What nonsense!"
"Padmé, you know what? If this world is without you, what is the meaning of the existence of this world? ”
"No matter where you are, even if you go to hell together, I will accompany you without hesitation, I will not be indifferent knowing that you are in danger here, never!!"
Looking at the helpless and desolate look on Padme's face, Anakin couldn't bear to look at the other party in such pain, so he hurriedly comforted him with gentle words, and firmly stated that he himself did not regret breaking into the Geonosis Star, even if he was tied up here now, ready to let those Geonosis people watch them perform some kind of death!
'Anakin ......'
'Padmé ......'
In this way, Anakin and Padmé stared at each other so deeply.
At this time, their eyes were only on each other, and they did not even pay attention to what the Gionosis and the Count of Dooku and the triumphant governor of the Trade Alliance, Newt Gunley, had said from the viewing platform, and they looked at each other affectionately as the Gionosians cheered.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Enough of you!"
Finally, Obi-Wan hanging on another stone pillar next to him seemed to be a little unbearable.
"I don't understand, Anakin, what the hell is going on with you, how are you here?"
"Okay!"
"I mean: you guy, what the hell are you doing here?!"
Obviously, Obi-Wan was a little incomprehensible about the unexpected appearance of Anakin, who was supposed to be in Naboo or had returned to Coruscant, and was also captured by the Gyanosis to be executed with him and the others.
"Of course I'm here to save you!"
Anakin replied with a straight face, although his rescue process was not perfect, and he was even caught without even seeing Padmé's face halfway, but he still firmly believes that the final result of this matter should not be too frustrating?
"Saving people?"
"Hah! That's how you came to save people? Well, you've done a great job, and you've been my apprentice! ”
After checking it, he found that the other party was really Obi-Wan who had broken into here alone, so he teased and sarcastically mocked Anakin with some hatred.
Sure enough, the words he said to Padmé when he was on the spaceship were really not wrong, that kind of emotion that shouldn't have really ruined Anakin, look at what the other party has done, even the most basic reason and judgment that a Jedi should have lost it, and just like this, he came here to die and still looked like he was happy?
"Don't worry!"
"I'm here to save Padmé, not you!"
Listening to the other party's ridicule, Anakin also said honestly and unceremoniously.
That is, because of Padme, if it was only Obi-Wan who was caught, he might have notified the Jedi Committee as soon as possible, or secretly let the swarm come to the rescue, and he would definitely not have come to this planet in person, right?
"Very good!"
"Then may I ask Your Excellency Anakin Skywalker, have you managed to save it?"
Obi-Wan stared at Anakin with that hell-like expression, trying to see what the other could say.
"This ......"
"I ran into our teacher and our teacher's teacher when I came in, and I couldn't beat them, so I ......"
So Anakin was caught and caught here.
However, although he has not been able to save Padmé for the time being, he believes that as long as it is delayed for a while, it should be almost enough! Because he sensed it, his swarm had been close for a long time, and it was possible that he sensed his situation, so he was speeding up?
"Good!"
"Anakin, you're so good!!"
Obi-Wan, who was talking the opposite, turned his head angrily, as if he was extremely ashamed of such a stupid Jedi that he had taught by hand?
"Hey!"
"You two, who do you think is coming?"
Without waiting for Anakin and Obi-Wan to continue talking, Padmé suddenly reminded the two of them in a low voice.
For she saw in the distance, a familiar figure was approaching the three of them in a small hovering vehicle, jumped off, and then walked silently towards the pillar.
"Anakin, Obi-Wan, and ......"
"Padme ......"
Looking at the three people in front of him, two of them were his apprentices, one was Padmé Amidala, the former queen of Naboo, whom he had known ten years ago and had a good personal relationship, and now Senator Naboo and the leader of the pacifists, he didn't know what to say for a while.
‘……’
‘……’
‘……’
Obi-Wan, Padmé, and Anakin didn't rush to speak, they just looked at the Jedi Master who was standing in front of them with their hands in front of them, and they all had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they never expected that they would come to this antagonistic situation.
Of course, perhaps it can't be said to be opposites, just differences in ideas?
"Obi-Wan ......"
Finally, after a moment of emotion, Master Kuigang King spoke, and walked to Obi-Wan's pillar first, looked at his first apprentice, and persuaded:
"You still haven't thought about it, have you?"
"You also know the identity of the Supreme Speaker Palpatine, and the Second Republic Army is all a conspiracy planned by him...... Now, ten years later, the situation of the Galactic Republic is very dangerous, and the entire galaxy is in an extremely bad situation, the stubborn Elders will not be able to save the country, and now only the Independent Galactic Alliance can hope to defeat Palpatine and save it all! ”
"So ......"
"It's too late for you to choose to join now, as long as you nod, I will beg my teacher to let you go, you shouldn't put your hope on that Jedi committee that can't protect itself!"
Quigon King was a little heartbroken, trying to persuade Obi-Wan to abandon the unrealistic ideas of the stubborn Jedi Temple and the Jedi Elders.
"Nope! Mr. Kuigang Kim! ”
"Anakin and I both believe in you, but I don't believe in your teacher, it's you who should wake up! He's also said that he's an apprentice of Darth Sidious and has studied the Dark Force, how dare you trust such a dangerous guy? ”
"If he really wants the Galactic Republic, then he should have informed the Council of Elders of the facts earlier, and then cooperated with the Jedi Knight to eradicate Supreme Council Palpatine, instead of gathering so many galaxies and separatists to form an independent galaxy alliance!"
"And!"
"Teacher, regardless of whether what he said is true or not, and whether he really broke off with Palpatine and turned against him, it is not difficult to judge based on what he has done in the past few years, he may also be a careerist like that Sith Lord!"
"So, Teacher, wake up, hurry up and send the information back to the Jedi Temple, maybe it's still too late?"
Yes, on the day of his arrest, the Count of Dooku and the Quigang King teacher in front of him had persuaded Obi-Wan to let him know the current state of the Galactic Republic and the true identity of the Supreme Speaker Palpatine...... However, when he was skeptical and did not choose to fully believe that he planned to send the message back to the Jedi Temple, he was locked up by them, and hung up with Padme and Anakin in the Gionosian dueling arena.
"No ......"
"Obi-Wan, teacher, he does have ambitions...... However, I believe his words, and, after all these years, you must have seen the current state of this galaxy and the republic, and I think it is time for a change. ”
After shaking his head and sighing, Quigang King, who knew that he could not convince Obi-Wan, walked to Anakin's pillar instead.
“……”
"Anakin, what about you?"
"You're the most gifted apprentice I've ever met, and you should be able to go far in the future, so...... Can I know what you think? ”
After a pause, King stared into Anakin's eyes with a hint of sadness and asked pleadingly.
"Teacher ......"
"I don't really have the same level of consciousness as Obi-Wan, I don't care who the Supreme Speaker Palpatine is, I don't care what the galaxy will become in the future, and to be honest, I've long complained about some of the rules of the Jedi Temple and the old-fashioned Presbyterian Council......"
"So, if you can let Padme go, then everything is negotiable, really!!"
Anakin said such a very indefensible sentence under the extremely sad and angry eyes of Obi-Wan on the side and the surprised and slightly moved expression of Padme, and immediately turned his head and gave the two of them an apologetic look.
In fact, this is indeed what he Anakin is saying, because as long as the Earl of Dooku and the Trade Alliance don't bother Padmé anymore, he certainly won't mind changing his flag for a while and joining the Independent Galactic Alliance.
After all, in Anakin's opinion, it's the same to fight anyone now, and sooner or later in the end anyway!
Moreover, it doesn't matter if that Count Dooku has ambitions or not, because he is a careerist himself, and has been plotting to subvert and control the Galactic Republic all the time throughout the year in order to gain that supreme power? Therefore, it really didn't matter what the righteousness, position, or conspiracy were, and the only thing that could still make him scruple now was Padmé alone.
“……”
King didn't speak, because he couldn't meet Anakin's seemingly simple condition, so he had to turn around slowly and walk to the last pillar with a calm face, that is, Padmet's stone pillar.
"Padme ......"
"You know what? I actually want to save you too, think about ten years ago, we had a long time together, we are old friends...... It's a pity that the guys in the Trade Alliance hate you to the core, and the only condition they are willing to join the Independent Galactic Alliance and provide a lot of money and troops is to ......kill you."
"So, I'm sorry, I can't seem to save any of you......"
In fact, Quigang King really wanted to pull out his lightsaber and save the three people in front of him, but here on the planet Geonosis, he didn't have any influence or power at all except for being able to say a little in front of his teacher, Count Duku, even if he made a brazen move now, it was probably just a life increase.
Moreover, if he does that, even if they can escape, I am afraid that it will be difficult to monitor his Duku teacher, and it will be difficult to monitor and ensure that the other party can really achieve the great vision that the other party said. Like his teacher, King himself hated the corruption of the republic and the stubbornness and old-fashionedness of the Presbyterian Church.
"Master Kuigang Kim, you don't have to blame yourself......"
"I know, it's not your fault, and if everything you say is true, wouldn't it be a pity to trade my life for the Republic not to fall into the hands of the Sith Lord?"
"But you have to be careful of the Trade Alliance guys, and that teacher of yours, I always feel that if this galaxy is in their hands in the future, it will probably become even worse than the current Republic!"
Padmé doesn't care about her life or death now, and after seeing Anakin running to save herself even though she knows she might die, she doesn't really have anything to regret.
So, with that, she turned around and gave Anakin a grateful and loving look to her.
“……”
"I'm sorry!"
"Padmé, Anakin and Obi-Wan ......"
"I'm really sorry......"
By this time, Count Dooku and the leader of the Geonosis had finished speaking, and the entire arena had gradually become quiet, and several Geonosis were releasing some kind of monster from the cage at the entrance of the arena, so Quigang King knew that it was time for him to leave.
Although, he was a little reluctant, very unwilling, and couldn't bear to see the three of them die here like this...... But alas, he can't help it.
“……”
"Padmé, don't worry, I'll get you out!"
Seeing his teacher turn his head and walk away, Anakin hurriedly said to Padmé, who was a little nervous because he saw a monster in the distance.
'Anakin ......'
"What I said is true!"
"I feel it, the Force tells me that none of us are going to die here today!"
‘……’
Padme forced a smile to herself, she felt that the other party's reason was very far-fetched, just to comfort herself?
"Hey!"
"Anakin, why are you so sure, did you inform the Jedi Council or that old fellow Palpatine in advance before you came, that they would send an army to save us?"
"Nope! I don't remember doing that! ”
"Then how do you know we're not going to die today?"
"Obi-Wan, that's what the Force told me, there will be a savior to save us today!"
"Quite the opposite, Anakin...... My Force tells me that we are all dead today, and we will definitely return to the Force! ”
Obviously, unlike Anakin's optimistic attitude of opening his eyes and telling nonsense, Obi-Wan was already completely desperate and did not feel that anyone would save them in this situation.
Not to mention that Anakin didn't send a message for help before he came here, even if he did, the Jedi Order, who had suffered heavy losses here, would definitely not be able to attack again! As for the Speaker Palpatine and the Second Republic Army, if it was really what Count Dooku said, I am afraid that they would not be so active in sending troops to rescue them, so the three of them seemed to be indeed dead.
"Maybe!"
Anakin didn't explain, because he felt that the savior had arrived, and he would definitely not die this time, although he was indeed a little reckless when he came to Geonosis, but he did make a record! So, at this time, he just frowned and looked at the three-headed monsters that were being driven by those Geonosis people in front of him, and thought about countermeasures and how to fight them and protect Padme in the future, so as to buy a little bit of time as much as possible?
“!!”
"Look!"
"What's that?!"
Suddenly, as the sounds of battle and explosions seemed to sound in the distant sky, Padmé and Obi-Wan looked into the sky in amazement, and sure enough, they saw one...... Or rather, a very large and huge monster creature warship is flying above the planet, and many strange flying creatures are being strangled with the trade alliance's robot space fighters.
At the same time, the huge monster warship almost simultaneously threw down the same huge tentacle-like sac with countless frantic writhing tentacles down towards the arena they were in, and smashed it down towards the clearing of their arena and around it at great speed?
Rumble! Rumble!
Immediately afterward, those sac-like things with countless frantic twisting tentacles smashed ferociously into the open space of the gladiatorial arena and the audience, causing confusion and casualties among the Geonosis and the battle robots of the Trade Alliance, and at the same time, countless jumping insects, stinging snakes, etc., crawled out of the big pits that had been struck out in a furious manner, and fiercely pounced on the Gyanosis and those battle robots.
Rumble!!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!
Soon, as the sac-like thing with countless tentacles that writhed wildly was dropped by the terrifying giant creature warship, the defenses of the Geonosis and the Battle Droids of the Trade Alliance began to crumble, and they were frantically strangled by the ferocious and terrifying monsters that kept rushing out of the pits......
Thankfully, those terrifying monsters all seemed to be fighting against the endless army of battle robots and the equally large number of Geonosis, and they didn't pay any attention to Anakin and the others who were locked to the stone pillars?

"It's horrible......"
"So, what kind of monster is that?"
"Haven't seen ......"
"Anakin, who are they? Is that the savior you just said?! ”
Seeing this, Obi-Wan began to struggle and tried to open the chains on his hands, but did not forget to shout at Anakin for the first time.
"I don't know!"
"You think they're going to look like they know me?"
Anakin said this against his will, and asked rhetorically.
"Definitely not!"
"I've never seen those horrible creatures!!"
"Anakin, Obi-Wan, can you stop wasting time! What do we do now?! ”
“!!”
"No matter who they are, let's hurry up and run while they fight!"
As he spoke, Obi-Wan, who seemed to have been prepared for a long time, quickly got rid of the chains, and then looked vigilantly at the terrible unknown monster race that rushed around, and found that they only seemed to want to trouble the Geonosis and those battle robots, and really didn't want to deal with them, so he quickly picked up a blaster rifle that the battle robot had dropped on the ground, and in two clicks, the chains in the hands of Anakin and Padmé, who were still hanging on the stone pillar, were broken and the two fell directly.
"Obi-Wan is right!"
"Padme, let's get out of here first!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to have to admit his relationship with the swarm, Anakin was happy to continue to play stupid, and directly pretended to be very nervous and took Padme's hand and agreed.
"My ship should still be near a vent a short distance outside, and if we can find a means of transportation, we should be there in no time, and then we can safely leave this damn planet!"
Security is definitely safe, because the swarm will definitely clear a passage for him, and Anakin is confident that the queen in charge of the command should know what to do.
The premise is ......
Don't they be so stupid as to send some stupid bug to him at such a time and ask for his orders?
"Look!"
"How's that hovercar pulled by that animal over there?"
Padmé pointed to the backward and advanced hovering chariot in the distance, which had been pulling three people to 'parade through the streets' one by one, and I don't know what kind of animal it was.
"Great idea!"
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up, Obi-Wan, do you want to die here?!"
“!!”
"Hey! You two guys wait for me! ”
Seeing in the distance, the teacher who saw them, Quigang King, glanced at them from a distance and took the lead in turning around and fleeing, Obi-Wan did not dare to delay, and hurriedly jumped into the chariot that was already driven by Anakin and Padmé......
