Chapter 128 - Jar Jar

When Tony arrived, Qui-Gon and Watto were already out to check the parts. The only ones left are Jar Jar and Padme.

Jar Jar is already looking at everything.

Padme, on the other hand, was fully focused on Anakin.

Seeing as he might interrupt the mood if he barged in, he decided to use the powers granted by the Force to sneak in unnoticed.

Anakin: "Are you an Angel?"

Padme: "What?"

Anakin: "An Angel? I heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe...."

Tony watched as Padme listened to Anakin. He knew that Anakin's angel line was working. Anakin already had Padme's attention.

Tony: [Good Anakin. Good. Now go for the kill]

Anakin: "They have beautiful eyes. Some of them even said that you can't miss them. They said that the moment you saw one, you would know she's an Angel."

When he said that, Tony noticed Padme smile a little. There may be a problem with Anakin since he still looks like a kid but Tony knew Padme was still on the hook.

Tony: [Yes. A little more.]

Anakin: "I'm not sure about what they look like but they live in the moons of Diego. I think."

Tony: [WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU ALMOST HAD HER!!!]

Tony got irritated. He already taught Anakin a bit about courting. He didn't go teach him how to approach a woman but he did teach him one thing. It was not to spout these kinds of tidbits on first encounters. It just made him look like a kid who knew a lot of things.

Padme: "You're a funny little boy."

Tony: [See. Knew it.

Sigh.

Boy zoned. That's even harder to get out of than the friend-zone. You better hope that she's an "Ara Ara" onee-san. ]

Tony didn't finish listening to their conversation started to sneak out. He wanted to get out so that he could make his entrance.

He just got out of the room when he heard a bang.

Tony: [Oh right. The trap.]

He turned to where the droid scraps and just as he expected, Jar-Jar Binks was there.

The dimwit has just touched the folding droid on display. A droid that Tony tampered with.

Tony knew it was the one he tampered with because it was the one with the label 'Do Not Touch'.

When Tony started working for Watto, he started playing with other droids first. He was interested in them since the droids in this universe are capable of communication. It wasn't just a some rudimentary Yes or Yes. They were able to do so much more. Not only do they have a relatively high level of intelligence, he also knew that these droids were able to learn up to some degree.

Tony wanted to know how they managed to get this working within such a small space.

He was able to a level of AI inside each of his suit, but that was just some basic AI. They could manage the suit's functions but that is just about it. Without an offsite server for all the heavy processing, the suit couldn't fight on its own. It had to have some sort of connection otherwise it needs a pilot to control the whole thing.

Tony himself used the quantum communication equipment in order to have JARVIS everywhere back in the MCU. Even in the movies, they still haven't managed to figure it out. Tony didn't have FRIDAY for his first fight with Thanos. Kree's Supreme Intelligence couldn't overcome this and had to settle for communication links. The only exception to the rule may be Ultron, but that's primarily because the AI had the help of the Mind Stone.

The only solution Tony had to bring an AI was to shrinking a whole server including into a pocket room. The servers still used a lot of materials which Tony could have possibly used for something else.

If Tony figured out how their technology worked, he wouldn't have to waste as many resources as before. He could also create more proper AI's which he could mount on his Mechas. His robots would have intelligence making true Transformers and Zoids would become possible.

Seeing the droid start moving, Tony stayed to watch the show.

He watched as Jar Jar started running after it, hoping to catch it and put it back to its spot.

Jar Jar has just got hold of the droid.

Tony: [Oooh. Wrong choice.]

When the droid noticed the hand, the droids eyepiece started to focus on it. It then slowly traced the hand back to the body and onto Jar Jar's face. It scanned it and when it discovered no matches in its database, it announced.

droid: "Chibi Black Widow Mode, Activated."

The droid pulled itself up and wound itself on Jar Jar's arm. It encircled the arm and started positioning itself. When its legs reached Jar Jar's elbows, it pulled its legs up and then used them to kick JJ's elbow. The hit made JJ contract his arm, helping the droid get near his face.

When JJ's arm was near his face, the droid lifted its legs again and went for Jar Jar's neck. The droid managed to complete a leg lock.

The droid then grabbed Jar Jar's arm. It then pulled the arms, making Jar Jar punch himself. Luckily for the guy, the droid is weak. It was able to hurt Jar Jar but it would take a really long time for it to kill him.

Jar Jar: "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. "

Padme: "Jar Jar? Are you okay?"

Jar Jar: "Nosa. Pleasen... hep... Mesa"

Padme: "Anakin?"

Anakin: "It's your friend's fault. There's a label on that one saying don't touch it."

(AN: FYI Jar Jar was kicked in the nuts in the movies but there was no visible reaction.)

With everyone in the room distracted, Tony decided to make his entrance.

He walked away for a bit before he started running into the room.

Tony: "Hey. What happe... My droid!!!"

Tony appeared shocked at the sight of Jar Jar. He rushed to him and 'tried' to get the droid off of him. The problem was, Tony is 'just a weak kid'. Jar Jar flailing around tossed him in the air.

With Tony's martial arts experience, he could have landed properly if he wanted to.

He did not do that.

Instead, he decided to let the Force take the lead. If he fell the ground, he would let Anakin have another try at Padme. But if he landed on Padme, he would follow with what the Force.

Tony closed his eyes and waited to land. He flew a bit, then knocked onto Padme.

He knew it was her and not another person because of the smell. Anakin is small while Jar Jar should have smelled fishy.

Tony: [Sorry kid. The Force is with me on this one.]

He crashed into her just like a certain lucky JP protagonist who always experience accidents involving women. He crashed onto her, knocking her down and settling on top of her. They lost their bearings but when they managed to settle down, Padme was stunned by the situation they found themselves in.

Not only was the boy who just arrived currently locked lips with her, but his hands were also placed right on her ċhėst. While it didn't have much and could be considered a runway, it was still her ċhėst. She didn't know what to do since the events were all an accident and

Tony felt her regain consciousness so he followed he followed suit. He opened his eyes, creating a scene where they were both looking straight into each other's eyes. Tony, acting shocked, stayed still for as long as he can. Neither of them made the first move, maintaining their position until Anakin interrupted them.

Anakin: "Hey Tony, Are you okay?"

Tony: "Yeah. I'm fine"

Tony then started getting up. He did this by pushing himself off of Padme's ċhėsts, making it seem like he didn't know what he was touching. If that wasn't enough, after he got up, Tony wiped his mouth which just kissed Padme.

Padme clearly saw all of Tony's actions and got irritated. Not only did Tony treat her ċhėst like it was just ground, he even had the gall to wipe his mouth right after getting up. She might be hiding her status, but she is the Queen of Naboo. Seeing someone do this is and not appreciate it is just insulting.

Tony felt Padme's irritation and knew that his entrance was a success.

He went to Padme and helped her up. He also made sure to reprimand her, blaming her for Jar Jar's actions. He pointed out how the droid is clearly labeled and that it was their fault for the things that happened.

Tony: [Hey kid. I'm not sure if the Force could pass this message along but if it does. This is how you make an entrance.

But I guess I'll make a move first. Don't worry, this does work out, I'll help you with their next queen instead.]

Qui-Gon and Watto came back, witnessing the mess Jar Jar made. Qui-Gon informed them that no deal was made, and Padme apologized before leaving.

When they got out, Watto asked what happened before telling Anakin to clean up before leaving. Anakin can get to leave early so he cleaned things fast.

The two boys proceeded to leave, arriving at the scene where Jar Jar provokes Sebulba.

Jar Jar tried to eat something but spat it out due to the cost of it. The food flew onto Sebulba's table, spilling Sebulba's food as well as dirtying him.

When Tony saw this, he was surprised. While the droid was weak, it still managed to beat up Jar Jar. He was wondering how Jar Jar still had the appetite considering that he just got beat up.

Jar Jar's movement didn't seem that affect, making Tony of a rumor about Jar Jar. The one where Jar Jar is supposed to be a Sith Lord. Tony was sure it was a joke at first but now that he saw it for real, he started to have doubts. Jar Jar moving as if nothing happened. It could mean either he was just too stupid to care about his injuries, or he already has the Force to help him heal them.

Tony was just thinking of keeping watch when Anakin already came for Jar Jar's rescue. Anakin wasn't afraid of Sebulba because they both knew Anakin's identity as a slave. Killing Anakin would just inconvenience Sebulba since Anakin is still Watto's property.

Anakin told Sebulba about Jar Jar's 'background' and then started taunting the Dug(Sebulba's race). Sebulba knew nothing else would happen anymore so he backed off.

Qui-Gon and the rest arrived, leading to the two groups joining.

Anakin acted as the tour guide, showing everyone all that he knew about the area.

Tony already had the tour, so he just stuck close to R2-D2. He played with the droid while also scanning it. He already made the first move on Padme, the least he could do is to leave the droid for Anakin.

He started scanning it so that when he has the ability, he would build JARVIS a body like it. He remembered Jedis using the R-series droids, so he would also follow suit.

On one of their stops, an old lady warned Anakin about the storm incoming. He then asked Qui-Gon about their lodging, before offering their house as a temporary shelter.

Tony didn't notice it at first but now that he saw it from the outsider perspective, it felt like Anakin is collecting strays.
