As they went deeper and deeper, the search party began to feel very uncomfortable.

"We must be getting close," Obi-Wan pointed out. "The air is quite warm."

"Hehe, it just smells terrible." Anakin said, covering his nose.

"Luckily for me and the soldier, our filters block out the smell. War Machine said with a wicked grin.

"Yes, you are lucky."

"Keep your voices down, both of you."

"Suffice it to say, this planet is rotten from the inside out."

"You may not be wrong."

Arriving at the end of the tunnel, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and War Machine soon saw a rather large bug that reached toward the ceiling of the chamber. It wore a unique headdress, and from the look of it, they quickly realized they had found the Queen of Geonos.

...

"Oh my god, Ridley Scott, eat your freaking heart out."

"Oh, for the love of--enough with aliens!" Anakin hissed at the now Avengers. "After watching those damn Alien movies, I had nightmares for a week. How Peter managed to convince me to watch those movies, I still don't understand.

"Would you two just stop for a second?" Kenobi said angrily. "These Alien movies are getting annoying."

The rest of the clones stepped forward to investigate.

"Any sign of Luminara?" Anakin asked.

War Machine activated his scanners and quickly spotted her. "First of all, she's alive and hanging near the throne."

"Where's Bogle?"

"Talking to the Queen, apparently," said Gerry.

"Good." Obi-Wan then gave the order. "Rhodes, I want you, Gerry, and Cody to deal with these men. When I give the signal, blind them with any lights you have. There is no doubt that these undead Geonosians are extremely sensitive to bright light.

"Got it," the Colonel replied, before silently directing the clones to certain points in the room.

"So what do we do?" Anakin asked. He quickly realized what was going on when he saw his Master looking at the Queen of Geonos. "Oh, no. You really want to talk to it?

Kenobi nodded, then looked at his former Padawan. "Anakin, don't you want to know why they held Luminara captive? Why not just kill her?

“She’s a hostage.

“No, it’s not just about the hostages, there are other reasons, and these zombies are related to it.

"Obi-Wan, do we really need to discuss this here right now?" War Machine asked impatiently.

"Obi-Wan, please."

"Where is your adventurous spirit, Anakin?" Obi-Wan said, walking out of his hiding place.

"Some risks are best not taken, or you'll regret it too late," Anakin retorted.

"Sir," Cody said over the comms. "Are you sure? We can't kill them by conventional means.

"We'll do what we did before," War Machine said. "Blow up the support beams, bury them."

Obi-Wan and Anakin walked forward, the two still arguing about Luminara being taken away.

"Come on, Anakin. The Queen of Geonos is holding Luminara hostage. She wants a Jedi. Now two more have appeared before her. I just want to know what she wants.

"Well, I'll be ready when things don't go as planned."

“It’s so reassuring.”

Walking past the zombie Geonosians that moaned and hissed at them, the two Jedi soon stood before the queen of the alien race.

Gazing at her fellow Jedi, Luminara bit back a groan. "I thought I told you not to follow me, and that you would listen to me, Master Kenobi."

"Yes, well, this time I decided to learn one trait of Anakin and disobey orders." Kenobi said calmly.

Anakin nodded before realizing what he had just said. "Hey!"

"Yo yo." The Jedi Knight looked up and saw the Queen speaking to them. "Woo...

"Oh my god, she can talk," War Machine said, Gerry right beside him as the clones and the Colonel now surrounded the Queen and her minions.

“呜

"Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." Kenobi said graciously. "I am Obi-Wan Kenobi and this is Anakin Skywalker. We regret to inform you that your reign will come to an end.

Queen Geonos did not take kindly to this statement.

"Yo...my empire is...eternal."

"I'm afraid that is not the case, Your Majesty. You should release Jedi Luminara and obey Republic law.

The Queen of Geonos simply roared and screamed in response. "I do not obey yoyo!"

As the zombie turned towards them, Anakin quickly ignited his lightsaber. Obi-Wan quickly grabbed him by the hand. "No, be patient, Anakin. Wait." Anakin finally obeyed, and Obi-Wan continued to persuade him, "Your Majesty, trying to control us will only make the Republic's judgment on you more severe."

The Queen just groaned. "No, Jedi. No! I am not destroying Yo Yo Yo, I am devouring... I am controlling you. Poggle only brought one Jedi with him. However, there are three now. Poggle quickly stepped forward and retrieved an egg from one of the undead, then walked straight to the captives they had tied up. "Alas, look at my child entering your Jedi friend. Her mind will become my mind. Her woo...

"It's mind control, a hive mind," Kenobi whispered. "She thinks she can possess us, control us."
