## History

### Background

It all started on the planet, Naboo where because of the Clone Wars, civil unrest started to take place between the Nabooans of the surface and the underwater Gungans. During the civil unrest, Minister Rish Loo of the Gungans allied himself with the Separatists and gave the leader of the Gungans, Boss Lyonie a magic necklace. Which allowed Rish Loo to influence Boss Lyonie with mystical power through another necklace he wore and claimed to Boss Lyonie that if he wore the necklace it would make him a great and powerful leader. That way, Rish Loo could give the Separatists access to Naboo through the Gungans so they could attack it. Rumors then started to spread on Naboo that the Gungans were going to ally themselves with the Separatists and invade the capital city, Theed so Senator Padme and Anakin went to Naboo to try and stop it.

### The Battle

When Padme and Anakin arrive on Nabbo and go to Lake Paonga to get to the Gungan city, Otoh Gunga they meet up with Senator Jar Jar Binks who explains the situation to them. He tells them that Boss Lyonie is blaming the surface people of Naboo for all the troubles Naboo is facing and is going to have the Gungans invade Theed with help from the Separatists. When Padmae, Anakin, and Jar Jar get to Otoh Gunga they see Boss Lyonie giving a big speech to the Gungan Soldiers about invading Theed. After they leave, Padme tries to convince Boss Lyonie to get the Gungans to stand down but he refuses but Anakin finds out that Boss Lyonie is being controlled by his necklace and destroys it which brings Boss Lyonie back to his senses. When Boss Lyonie reveals to them about Rish Loo giving him the necklace, Anakin, Padme, and Boss Lyonie go to confront him about it with Boss Lyonie wanting to talk with Rish Loo alone. During which, Rish Loo is talking to Count Dooku through a transmission about their arrangement then when Boss Lyonie confronts Rish Loo about his actions he tries to use his own necklace to control Boss Lyonie again. But Anakin senses Rish Loo's actions with the Force so he and Padme go to save Boss Lyonie but Rish Loo sends some Commando Droids to attack them. They are able to fight off and defeat the Commando Droids but during the fight, Rish Loo stabs Boss Lyonie with a knife and makes his escape from Otoh Gunga. Although Boss Lyonie is taken to medical care he is still unconscious and won't be able to call off the invasion on Theed with the Separatists. So Anakin and Padme try to get Jar Jar to call off the invasion but Jar Jar says that the Gungans won't listen to him because they're prepared to invade Thneed. But when Jar Jar puts on Boss Lyonie's crown, Anakin and Padme come up with a plan to have Jar Jar pretend to be Boss Lyonie to call off the invasion in his place. Meanwhile, Rish Loo tells the Gungan Soldiers that Boss Lyonie is dead and declares that they will attack Theed with help from the Separatist Droid Army. Until Jar Jar shows up dressed as Boss Lyonie, cancels the invasion, and reveals to the Gugan Soldiers that Rish Loo is a traitor. Rish Loo tries to escape on a Speeder Bike but Anakin chases after him on a Kaadu then the Droid Army arrives wanting Jar Jar as Boss Lyonie to discuss about the canceled invasion with General Grievous. Jar Jar and General Tarpals go up to General Grievous' ship to talk with him where Jar Jar as Boss Lyonie tells him that the Gungans will not invade Theed but Grievous decides to invade Theed himself with the Droid Army. So Jar Jar tells General Tarpals to go get help he pretends to agree with Grievous that the Gungans will help invade Theed to try and stall him. Outside, Generals Tarpals warns Padme about General Grievous through a transmission so she tells him to capture Grievous in order to stop the invasion by shutting down half of his Droid Army. Meanwhile, Anakin continues to chase after Rish Loo who send out two Probe Droids which Anakin fights off and destroys but they shoot down his Kaadu so Anakin continues chasing Rish Loo on foot. Back at the Grievous' ship, Jar Jar as Boss Lyonie still tries to stall Grevious until help arrives but then Grievous sees through Jar Jar's disguise and chases him off the ship where Grievous is confronted by General Tarpals and the Gungan Soldiers who have shut down the Droid Army and then surround him. General Tarpals orders Grievous to surrender but he refuses and attacks the Gungan Soldiers then after killing a few of them, General Tarpals fights off General Grievous himself but Grievous kills him. But with his last breath, General Tarpals and Jar Jar are able to deliver the final blows to Grievous which allows the Gungans Soldiers to defeat and capture him then the Gungans mourn General Tarpals for his brave sacrifice along with Padme. Meanwhile, at Rish Loo's secret laboratory, Darth Sidious calls Count Dooku through a transmission informing him of General Grievous' capture and tells him to get Grievous back as he is necessary for the Clone Wars. To do that, Sidious tells Dooku that he would have to capture Anakin with a trap and exchange him for Grievous knowing that Padme will agree to the terms. So Count Dooku calls Rish Loo and tells him to come meet him at the laboratory and to let Anakin follow him. When they both arrive at the laboratory, Dooku kills Rish Loo and then he and Anakin fight each other with Dooku being helped by some Bodyguard Droids. Anakin is defeated and captured by Dooku and the Bodyguard Droid then Dooku broadcasts a transmission to Padme just as Boss Lyonie has regained consciousness and fully healed up. Count Dooku makes a deal with Padme that he'll return Anakin in exchange for General Grievous, at first Padme refuses to do it but she eventually complies when Dooku has his Bodyguard Droids torture Anakin and with Jar Jar and Boss Lyonie's convincing. The Droid Army then returns Anakin and in return, the Gungans return General Grievous and the Separatists leave Naboo.
