(CW) The Trial (Separatists,Anakin,Padme,Open)

[Poggle the Lesser]

On the very highest platform of the small, very dark chamber. Stood the archduke of Geonosis himself. poggle the Lesser. Around him were many floors of balconies. Full of Geonosians. And on the bottom floor. To the right of the room was the jury. Non other than the Separatist leaders. The crowds of Geonosians screamed. And were shortly settled down by Poggle who had complete control.

"Bring forth the prisoners!"

Poggle commanded in his tongue. The wide gates opened. Releasing a blast of sun light. And 4 Geonosians led Anakin and Paddme inside. Before closing the gates again and leaving the room in complete darkness. On Pogles table was Anakins saber and Padmes blaster. He examined it, leaving the crowd in tension. His head then looked down on padme and Anakin standing before him.

Poggle eyes Nute. Who had been excited over the trial. For a long time Nute had always wanted revenge on Amidala. ANd the time would come soon. He eyes Anakin and then Padme yet again.

"Senator Amidala. And Jedi Anakin SKywalker. You have been accused of spying on our planet for the Republic. How do you plea?"

Poggle spoke in his own language. He awaited their plee. Knowing that this trial would be short and he was more than prepared to order their execution. And even better, it would be in the great arena where all his geonosian people will observe.

[Nute Gunray]

Nute had sat on the bottom floor to the right of Poggle The Lessers platform. His aide Rune Haako had been sitting besides Nute, along with the other Separatist leaders. All Nute felt was excitement and pleasure. For years he had a grudge against Padme Amidala. And now his request for her death was near. This trial was just a delay for the moment.

As Poggle left everyone tense. Nute grew irritated. "This is taking too long. I have much more important things to do." Nute whispered. to RUne. Before concentrating back on Poggle. Before he knew it both Padme and Anakin were bought before Poggle. Nute gave a wicked smile.

Just as Poggle had finished asking their plea. Nute laughed a tad and then called out. "You shall not survive this Senator Amidala. You shall die slowly and painfully."

[Rune Haako]

Rune Haako took his place besides Nute Gunray. The room was far too dark to see well. But he could make out Geonosians on the balconies and the archduke on the high platform. "This is taking too long. I have much more important things to do."

"Of course you do sir. But we must attend this trial. After all this will be the death of padme. We have bee-" before Rune finished Anakin and Padme were bought in. The strong light slightly damaging his eyes. "At last. they are here sir." he whispered to Nute.

[Padme Amidala]

Padme straighted up as she came into view of the crowd. She glared at the crowd of Seperatists, all of whom she was sure were cheering for her death as well as Anakin's. "You will not get away with this!" She shouted. "The republic as well as the Jedi will find you." She snarled, sure of herself.

[Anakin Skywalker]

As they were brought under the hot, bright sun, Anakin grimaced at the sudden change of brightness. He looked around himself and saw the crowd mad from upcoming bloodshed - primitive creatures that enjoyed this kind of events, Anakin thought to himself as they were brought forth, towards the huge poles that were struck into ground.

"Senator Amidala. And Jedi Anakin SKywalker. You have been accused of spying on our planet for the Republic. How do you plea?"

Anakin gave out a bitter laughter, shouting back at the geonisian leader, "How would you think that we plea?!" he shouted. "But our pleas will not be heard, I imagine, so wouldn't it be pointless trying to argue with you? It is clearly seen what you have decided our fate to be!" He drew a deep breath. "You, who call yourselves separatists, are you really ignorant enough to think that the Republic wouldn't know what forces you are gathering here and wouldn't dare to act against you?" he shouted at the separatist leaders.

"You must", he shouted then, "understand that the Republic nor the Jedi Order are not weak - and they will act. Even though you might be brave now, think about what happened in past. Take an example of your courageous Viceroy of the Trade Federation. He was crushed not long ago, even if he thought that his opponents were weak enough to be crushed on one blow. He failed in what you're going to fail in later!"

He shook his head. "And if you have our deaths on your hands, the result will be even worse", he said with a low, threathening voice, continuing, "Just think about it! Do you think that the Jedi Order would forgive death of one of their own, or that the Republic would forgive death of one of their senators?"

[Poggle the Lesser]

Poggle stood tall, eyes wide open with hatred towards Anakin. Poggle looked around, to see his own Geonosians talking to one another of Anakins speech. "Silence! Silence!" He said in his own words. He looked down on Nute Gunray to see him full of anger aswell.

Poggle again spoke in his own tongue. "You are a fool my boy. For a jedi you cannot see through the Republic. The Republic is made of lies, cheats and corruption. You should know it." Poggle smiled and spoke again. "Can you not see-That the Jedi is only the Republics tool. They are using you as their army. Because they have none." Poggle looked down on Count Dooku, who nodded in return.

"In one hand the Republic favour you. And in the other hand behind their back they plan to betray you. It is the Sith who they are co-operating with. The Republic is influenced by a sith lord, who goes by the name of Darth Sidious. But you probably wont believe me. So if you are not with true freedom.....Then you are against us. I think I know what is in store for you two then...."

[Nute Gunray]

Nute watched with hatred towards Anakin. "This is an outrage!" He called out standing up. The Geonosians discussed between themselves. "I only failed because I was betrayed. That crown was mine!" He called out to Anakin and Padme. before Poggle demanded order.

Nute sat back down and awaited further talks."Then you are against us. I think I know what is in store for you two then...."

"You are taking to long Archduke!" Nute Gunray called out. "Carry out the sentence. I want to see her suffer." He finished pointing at Padme. With that Nute gave an evil smirk. Nute knew what was in store for them. it would all be over soon.

[Rune Haako]

(I want t skip my turn please)

[Luke Skywalker]

((Padmes turn))

[Padme Amidala]

Padme lifted her chin defiantly. "You sound so sure of your convictions." She was starting to panic, but wasn't about to let them see it. She had been trained for moments like this. "Even if the Republic does not find us, the Jedi will!" She shouted, turning to face Anakin. "They will come, won't they?" She whispered to him, a worried tone in her voice.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Anakin glanced at Padme, flashing an uncertain smile as he nodded, saying, "They will, I am sure." He looked up at the insect-like Archduke, saying at a loud voice, "How can you claim that we are under the influence of the Sith? How can you be certain that you are not so yourselves?" he asked. "Nothing in this life is certain, Archduke, nothing but death. If you wish to die in disgrace and a traitor, then so be it. Seeing that our sentence has been decided even before we were brought here, I see no point in arguing or explaining myself to you fools, who so clearly are directed by some manner of dark plans and webs of intrigue."

He shook his head, resigning.

[Poggle the Lesser]

(Sorry me and Nute wernt on. Nute got alot of coursework this half term so probably wont be on until Tuesday.)

Poggle gave an evil grin. "Then you plead guilty" He shouted in delight banging the hammer on the table. "Your penalty for intrusion and spying on our humble planet is... Sentenced to death at the Geonosian arena." All the Geonosians began to cheer. "Take them out of my sight." Poggle commanded to his guards speaking Geonosian. poggle turned around leaving the court room from the judges exit.
