Patt 1

The two Jedi stood behind the captain and first officer in the cockpit of their Republic
transport.

“By the gods,” exclaimed the captain, “how can sentient beings live like that?”

“One doesn’t miss what one has never had,” observed Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

His padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi grinned in response. He’d been on any number of
back-water worlds with his master over the years. One more wasn’t going to make a
difference.

“Well, we can put you down at the last reported location of the fugitive,” stated the pilot,
“but, you’re on your own from there.”

“That will be satisfactory,” answered Qui-Gon, “we’ll contact you when we’re ready to
return.”

“Fine,” answered the pilot. “We’ll be waiting on their moon until you call. Easier to
avoid detection that way.”

The Jedi master and padawan had been sent by the Jedi council to this world on the far
edge of their galaxy to capture a suspected Sith, named Kel. At the very least, Kel was a
trained Force-sensitive who had turned to the dark side.

Kel had reeked havoc in the outer rim, and had then fled to this planet in order to avoid
capture. The planet was extremely backward in its technology, and had no knowledge of
life outside their planet. The inhabitants of this world called their planet, Earth. The
Republic called it Terran.

The trick was going to be tracking and apprehending Kel without revealing themselves to
the denizens of Terran.

After waiting for night to fall where they were to land, the transport set them down right
in the middle of a rather large city. Obi-Wan marveled at the stealth technology that
allowed them to land in the midst of a bustling city and not be detected. The Jedi pair had
studied all the records of sociological research that had been accumulated about this planet
over the years. They knew the planet had a diverse culture, and multiple governments.

After they disembarked, the transport silently rose into the air, and was gone in a matter of
seconds. Master and apprentice, then pulled up their hoods as they left the alley, and
made their way down the street. They were headed to a section of the city called,
Chinatown, in search of a Shaolin priest named, Kwai Chang Caine.

“Master,” said Obi-Wan quietly, so as to not be overheard, “I don’t understand how a
priest can help us find Kel.”

“Patience, Padawan,” admonished the Jedi master, “you will soon see that simply because
an ally is primitive, that does not make him ineffective.”

“How do we find this priest?” the apprentice asked.

“We are simply to go to Chinatown, and ask for Caine,” the master informed him.

“That seems easy enough,” said Obi-Wan. “He must be famous, if everyone in Chinatown
knows him.”

Qui-Gon smiled, but remained silent on the subject. “Come, Padawan,” he instructed, “we
can cut across this open, grassy area to get to Chinatown.”

With that, the pair entered the park. An action that would have been unwise after dark for
most people. As it was, they used the Force to discourage anyone from approaching
them. They didn’t want a confrontation. They were about to get one anyway.

Up ahead, they could see two men being attacked by six. The two seemed to be skilled
fighters, but were none-the-less outnumbered.

“That doesn’t seem fair, Master,” observed Obi-Wan.

“No, Padawan,” Qui-Gon agreed, “it doesn’t.” Sighing, he followed the Force’s bidding,
and waded into the malay, followed closely by his padawan.

A Force-shove by the Jedi master threw two of the assailants twenty feet away, where
they landed in a tangled heap. Obi-Wan, front-flipped over one attacker, which landed
him between that one and a second attacker. A roundhouse kick took down both men.

The other two men made short work of the last two attackers, and the six assailants fled
into the night.

The two men who had been attacked stood still as they tried to catch their breath. The
one man looked to be a few years older than Obi-Wan, and about the same height. He
was clean-shaven with brown hair, dressed in a colored tee-shirt, jeans, and a jacket. The
other man was dark-haired, and wore dark sunglasses. He was dressed in a dark jacket
and pants, with a white shirt and dark tie.

The brown-haired man, who was now leaning over with his hands resting on his thighs,
looked up at the two Jedi. “Thanks,” he panted. “I thought for a minute there, they had
us.”

“It was our pleasure,” said Qui-Gon as he bowed slightly to the men.

“My name’s Peter Caine,” said the brown-haired man as he extended his hand.

“Qui-Gon Jinn,” said the Jedi master as he clasped Peter’s hand.

“This is my…student, Obi-Wan Kenobi,” he said as he introduced his padawan.

“Nice to meet you,” said Peter as he shook Obi-Wan’s hand in turn. “This is Kermit,” he
said, indicating the dark-haired man.

Kermit didn’t extend his hand in greeting. He merely smiled and said, “Nice save. I
especially liked that front-flip move, kid,” he said, addressing Obi-Wan.

“Thank you,” smiled Obi-Wan, nodding. “I try to be inventive.”

Qui-Gon gave his padawan a pained look before turning to address Peter again. “You
wouldn’t, by chance, be related to a Kwai Chang Caine, would you?”

Peter immediately became suspicious. “He’s my father,” he answered warily. “Why?”

“We are in need of his help,” said Qui-Gon. “Would you be so kind as to take us to him?”

Peter glanced at Kermit, who shrugged. “Sure, it’s this way.”

The two men led, and the Jedi followed. As they walked, Kermit whispered to Peter.
“What do you make of these guys? You think they’re Shaolin?”

“I don’t think so,” Peter whispered back. “They’ve got robes, but they’re not Shaolin.

“Did you see that move by the Jinn guy?” asked Kermit. “He threw those guys twenty
feet, and I never saw him touch them.”

Meanwhile, the Jedi were communicating with one another through their training bond.

*Master, Peter is strong in the Force, and he seems to have had some training, * sent
Obi-Wan.

*Yes, I noticed that. We’ll have to be attentive. I’d be interested to know who trained
him. *

*Perhaps his father, * Obi-Wan suggested.

*Perhaps, * agreed Qui-Gon.

“Peter,” whispered Kermit, “I’m going to drop back and try to get the kid to loosen up.”

“Sounds like a plan,” agreed Peter.

Peter turned as he walked and addressed Qui-Gon, while Kermit slipped back beside
Obi-Wan. “So, uh, Qui-Gon is it? Uh, care if I ask what you want with my father?”

“Just to talk,” answered Qui-Gon as he fell in beside Peter.

“Hey, kid,” said Kermit, “why are you two dressed alike?”

“Ma…, Qui-Gon is my teacher,” Obi-Wan hedged. “It’s the way we dress in
our…school.”

“Not like any school I’ve ever heard of, unless you’re from a monastery,” observed
Kermit.

Obi-Wan knew Kermit was digging for more information about them, but he also knew
they weren’t supposed to reveal their true nature to anyone, with the possible exception of
Kwai Chang Caine. Obi-Wan just shrugged in response to Kermit’s statement and
remained silent.

*Master, I believe they are suspicious of us, * sent Obi-Wan.

*I know, Obi-Wan, but there’s nothing we can do about it at the moment. *

“Here’s my father’s place,” said Peter, pointing up to the top floor of a building. “Up
these steps.”

“Thank you,” answered Qui-Gon. “We can find our way from here.”

Go to Chinatown, ask for Caine, he will help you.

You know, I doubt he ever expected to be helping Jedi, but he will.

So are Peter and his father a team at this point? I know it said Peter had been trained, but not how much.

As always, I await more.

Ah, yes, Caine will help them. I used to watch that show all the time until TNT yanked it from their afternoon schedule. Tune in tomorrow for more!

Keep your radar tuned for upcoming Obi-torture...not in this part, but it's coming. Keep checking back for your daily dose of pain and fun! You guys are so sadistic! *grin* Aaand awaaay we gooo!

Part 2

“Oh, I don’t think so,” said Peter. “No offense, but I don’t know you very well, and I
don’t like to leave my father alone with people I don’t know very well.”

Qui-Gon waved his hand in front of Peter’s face. “We’re no threat.”

“Well, that remains to be seen,” said Peter unaffected.

Qui-Gon tried again. “We’re no threat to your father,” he said as he waved his hand
again.

“You said that already, and stop waving that hand in my face,” said Peter, getting a little
annoyed.

Qui-Gon sighed inwardly and entered the building, resigning himself to the fact that they’d
have to deal with a group instead of one.

Peter yelled to his father as they mounted the steps to his loft. “Hey, Pop! You’ve got
company!”

Entering Caine’s practice room, they found he was just finishing a workout with his good
friend, Lo Si.

“Pop, these guys are looking for you,” said Peter.

Peter’s father stopped in front of the two Jedi and bowed slightly to them. “I am Caine.
How can I help you?”

“May we speak with you privately?” asked Qui-Gon.

“Anything you have to say, can be said in front of these men,” answered Caine. “I have no
secrets from them.”

“Hmph,” said Peter with a smirk. He knew all too well that his father had quite a few
secrets.

Caine gave his son a withering look, and Peter was quiet.

Qui-Gon sighed again, this time a little more loudly. This mission was not going the way
he’d planned. “I am Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and this is my padawan learner, Obi-Wan
Kenobi.”

“What the hell are Jedi?” mumbled Kermit to Peter.

“Aah!” said Lo Si, “Then you have traveled far.”

Qui-Gon cocked an eyebrow in his direction and glanced at his apprentice. “You’ve heard
of Jedi?”

“From the Dalai Lama,” said Lo Si with a bow.

Caine looked from Lo Si to Qui-Gon and back again. “What has the Dalai Lama to do
with this?” he asked Lo Si.

“The Dalai Lama is our contact on Earth,” answered Qui-Gon. “He is, or was, the only
person on your planet who knows our true identity.”

“Wait a minute,” interrupted Peter. “Are you trying to say that you two are from another
planet?”

Qui-Gon tried to look as honest and non-threatening as he could as he turned to Peter.
“I’m not trying to say that, I am saying that.”

“This is…unexpected,” said Caine.

“Oh, come on Pop!” exclaimed Peter. “You don’t actually believe these guys, do you?”

“Peter,” said Caine, letting the expression on his face tell his displeasure at his son’s
rudeness, “if the Dalai Lama believes them to be from another planet, then they are.”

“Ok, I’ll let it slide for now,” said Peter turning to Qui-Gon, “but at some point, I want
proof.”

Qui-Gon allowed a small smile to show on his face. In so many ways, Peter was like
Obi-Wan. “Agreed.”

“How can I be of help?” asked Caine.

“We have been sent here to retrieve a fugitive and return him to justice,” explained
Qui-Gon.

“Hey, Peter,” commented Kermit, “that’s just up our alley.”

Qui-Gon gave Kermit an enquiring look. “Really? How so?”

“My son and Kermit are police officers,” explained Caine.

“Then we have something in common,” Obi-Wan interjected. “Jedi are the guardians of
peace and justice in the galaxy.”

“Just where exactly, are you Jedi from?” asked Peter.

“Coruscant,” answered Qui-Gon.

“Well, that tells us a lot,” said Kermit.

“What has this fugitive done?” asked Caine.

“He is a suspected Sith,” answered Qui-Gon. “Someone who uses the dark side of the
Force.”

“The Force?” asked Peter.

“We call it Chi,” explained Lo Si.

“So, this guy is like…like Sing Wah,” observed Peter.

“Yes,” Lo Si confirmed.

Now it was the Jedi’s turn to be confused. “Sing Wah?” asked Qui-Gon.

“They are a Chinese cult who serve the dark,” explained Caine.

Qui-Gon nodded in understanding. “This man’s name is Kel. He murdered countless
people in the Outer Rim region of the galaxy, and has come here to hide. Our Council has
sent us here to find him and bring him back.”

“You mean they only sent two of you?” asked Kermit. “Or, are there more of you
somewhere.”

“In most instances, two Jedi are more than enough to handle any given situation,”
explained Qui-Gon. “Although our order is about twenty-five thousand strong, even that
is not sufficient to adequately cover the entire galaxy.”

“So, are you the best,” asked Peter, “or, were you just the closest?”

“Both,” answered Qui-Gon with a nod.

"Plus, we're human," added Obi-Wan.

Peter’s eyebrows raised in response, but he let the remark pass. “So, this Kel, you think
he’s in Chinatown?”

“Our most recent information tells us that he is,” answered Qui-Gon.

“And, you think he might have allied himself with the Sing Wah?”

“That would seem the most likely thing for him to do, Peter,” said Qui-Gon, “but, perhaps
you would know better than we would.”

“Okay,” agreed Peter, “Kermit and I will check it out and see if any new faces have been
spotted in Chinatown. In the meantime, do you guys have a place to stay?”

“They may stay here,” said Caine, “if that is satisfactory with you?”

“Of course,” said Qui-Gon. “We would be most grateful for your hospitality.”

*****

Kel kept to the shadows as he crept toward the building. He didn’t know what was inside,
but the dark forces within drew him like a magnet. Although the whole building emanated
evil, the feeling was more concentrated in the back, so he skipped entering via the front
door, and followed an alley to the back entrance.

Everything about the tall human was black, his hair, his skin, his eyes, his clothes...his heart. /Child’s play, / he thought as he used the Force to unlock the back door and slip
inside.

The sense of evil was so strong now that it was gut-wrenchingly sickening. Kel reveled in
it. Two guards stationed outside a room immediately turned weapons in his direction. A
wave of his hand sent the guards sprawling. Another movement of his hand brought the
guards’ weapons to him. In a moment they were a melted pile of scrap metal on the floor.

The two guards recovered enough to make a mad dash in the opposite direction.

Bon Bon Hai, Chinese crime lord and local leader of the Sing Wah, looked up as Kel
entered his office.

“What is the meaning of this intrusion?” he asked, his eyes signaling his body guards to
act.

They ended up slammed against the far wall, hanging in midair, each struggling for enough
air to keep themselves alive. “Your lack of manners distresses me,” said Kel.

Bon Bon Hai’s eyes were bugging out of his head. He hadn’t seen such a raw display of
evil power since his former master, who’d been defeated by Kwai Chang Caine.

“Release them and I will serve you, my Lord,” he said as he prostrated himself on the floor
in front of the Sith Lord.

Kel let his arm fall to his side, and the men fell in a heap on the floor. “That’s better,” he
said to the Sing Wah leader.

Part 3 coming right up!

Part 3

While Peter and Kermit went to talk with Peter’s snitch, Donnie “Double D,” the master
and apprentice got settled into their quarters with Caine. After stowing their supplies, the
Jedi asked Caine if he’d mind if they sparred in his practice room.

“I would be honored,” Caine answered.

The two Jedi faced each other and bowed. Both ignited their lightsabers just as Peter and
Kermit got back. Peter threw a questioning glance at his father, and then joined him at the
side of the room.

The Jedi sparred in full battle mode, preparing for when they would have to face Kel.
Their lightsabers moved so fast, that they were blurred arcs of colored light. They went
back and forth for thirty minutes until Qui-Gon gained the upper hand. A low sweep of
his leg behind Obi-Wan’s knees put the padawan on his back. Qui-Gon’s lightsaber was at
his neck before Obi-Wan could recover.

Obi-Wan lay on the floor, his chest heaving from the exertion. “I yield, Master,” he
panted, and grabbed Qui-Gon’s extended hand, allowing his master to help him up.
Qui-Gon hadn’t even broken a sweat.

Extinguishing their lightsabers, the Jedi turned to their host. Peter and Kermit were
staring at them open-mouthed.

“Peter,” admonished his father, “are you trying to catch flies?”

“Huh? Oh! Sorry,” he said, embarrassed. “That was….that was…incredible.”

“Thank you,” murmured both Jedi together.

“Do all Jedi fight like that?” asked Kermit.

“The knights are trained to fight with lightsabers,” said Qui-Gon.

“What other kinds of Jedi are there?” asked Peter.

“Some Jedi train as healers, some as scholars and historians, some as diplomats, and still others as knights,” explained Qui-Gon. “Knights are also often called on to serve in a diplomatic capacity. We mediate disputes and give assistance where asked.”

“Sounds…interesting,” said Kermit.

“There is more to being a Jedi knight than just fighting with lightsabers,” observed
Obi-Wan. “Just as, I’m sure, there’s more to being a Shaolin priest than using martial
arts.”

“That is correct,” said Caine.

“Peter,” asked Qui-Gon, “what did you find out from your…what was the word you
used?”

“Snitch,” said Peter. “Donnie says there have been rumors of a new guy in town who’s
not afraid to throw his weight around. Word is that even Bon Bon Hai is afraid of him.”

“That’s not surprising,” observed Obi-Wan. “He’d probably be more powerful than
anyone they’d ever encountered before.”

“Are you sure you can handle this guy?” asked Kermit. “Assuming you can find him.”

“We have been trained for this,” said Qui-Gon, not taking offense at Kermit’s questions.
He knew Kermit was the kind of man who spoke his mind, no matter whether it offended
or not. “I can’t guarantee we will be successful, but we will follow the will of the Force,
nonetheless.”

“Yeah, whatever,” answered Kermit. “Well, what say me, Peter, and the kid do a little
reconnaissance work, and see if we can pinpoint where this Kel is holed up?”

Qui-Gon glanced at Obi-Wan, and was proud to see that Kermit’s insistence of referring
to Obi-Wan as “the kid” was not irritating him.

*His words do not change who I am, Master, * sent Obi-Wan.

*A wise attitude to take, Obi-Wan. Besides, I think it means he thinks of you as a friend. *

Obi-Wan smiled, and turned his attention back to the others in the room.

“I think that might be a wise course of action,” noted Qui-Gon. “Be mindful, Padawan.
Kel is dangerous. I do not want you facing him alone.”

“What are we, chopped liver?” grumbled Kermit as the trio left Caine’s loft.

Caine turned to Qui-Gon after the other three had left. “I would be honored if you would assist me in mixing some herbs. I’ve run low and should replenish my stock.”

“Of course,” murmured Qui-Gon as he followed Caine into the room that served as his
kitchen and apothecary shop.

*****

“What is thy bidding, Master?” asked Bon Bon Hai.

“Two Jedi,” he spat, as if the term burned his lips, “have followed me here. They could be a problem and must be eliminated before I can proceed with my plans. Once they’re out of the way, I can turn my attention to other pursuits, such as domination of this pitiful world.”

Bon Bon Hai clearly thought his new boss was completely insane, but was smart enough to keep his mouth shut on the matter.

*****

Obi-Wan, Peter, and Kermit sat in Peter’s car across the street from the Chinese restaurant that fronted Bon Bon Hai’s organization.

Obi-Wan, who was sitting in the back seat, placed a hand on Peter’s shoulder. “He’s in there...I can feel him.”

“Who? Kel?” asked Kermit. “How can you feel him?”

“Someone finely attuned to the Chi, can detect a disturbance in it if they’re close enough to the source, or if it's a big enough disturbance,” answered Peter. He smiled as he heard his father’s voice in his head, *Very good, Peter. * Peter didn’t know if it was really his father speaking to him, or he was just remembering something his father had said before.

"Well, come on then!" urged Kermit. "Let's take a closer look."

"That's not necessary," said Obi-Wan. "I already know he's in there, and my master specifically told me not to face him alone."

"Yeah, but you're not alone," said Peter, getting out of the car. "We're with you!"

“All right," said Obi-Wan hesitantly, "but we must be cautious. I don’t want him to
know I’m here.”

“Never mind about us,” commented Kermit.

“I’m sorry,” apologized Obi-Wan. “I didn’t mean to imply that your lives were any less
precious than my own. I only meant that it will be easier for Kel to sense me, as I am a more powerful presence in the Force than you are.”

“Ah, even the explanation insults us,” said Kermit, but he smiled to let Obi-Wan know he wasn’t seriously offended.

The three carefully made there way around the back of the restaurant, and entered by the same door Kel had. Peter and Kermit both drew their guns, while Obi-Wan’s lightsaber remained at his side.

The young Jedi looked curiously at their weapons. “What are those?”

Kermit exchanged a look with Peter. “Well, I know they probably don’t have weapons as primitive as these where you come from, kid,” whispered Kermit, “but, I bet these are every bit as deadly. They’re called guns.”

Obi-Wan mentally took a step back, and looked at Peter in confusion. By way of
explanation, Peter pulled out his ammunition and showed it to the Jedi. “These are
bullets. The bullets are propelled from the gun’s barrel at a high rate of speed. The
bullets can penetrate almost anything, but are especially damaging to flesh. Depending on the bullet, they can really mess a person up, but any bullet is deadly.”

Obi-Wan nodded at the explanation. “I will be cautious.”

The men searched the back rooms on the first floor, but found them empty. Next they tried the second floor, where Bon Bon Hai had a ballroom for parties.

Obi-Wan sensed people in the ballroom, but found no one upon entering. *Someone is here, * he sent to his two companions automatically, not knowing if they’d hear him.

The Force was all but screaming at him now to get out quickly, and he could definitely feel Kel’s presence growing further and further away. “There's something not right here. Kel has left the building,” whispered Obi-Wan. “We should as well.”

Just as they turned to leave the ballroom, five men stepped out from a back room and
started firing semi-automatic weapons at them. Obi-Wan’s lightsaber was out in a flash deflecting bullets to cover their retreat. The three made no attempt at stealth, and barreled through the restaurant to speed up their escape.

They didn’t stop until they’d reached Peter’s car and threw themselves inside it. Peter
squealed tires in his haste to put distance between them and Bon Bon Hai’s men. Only when they were safely away did Obi-Wan notice the pain below his ribcage. Parting his robe, he looked down and groaned.

“What’s the matter, kid?” asked Kermit, turning around in the front passenger seat to look at him. Noticing the growing blood stain on Obi-Wan’s tunic, Kermit immediately
climbed into the back seat with him.

“Just lay back and let me take a look at it, kid,” he said as he gently removed Obi-Wan’s belt and parted his tunic. Kermit pushed his sunglasses up onto the top of his head so he could get a better look at the wound. Obi-Wan realized idly that it was the first time he’d ever seen Kermit’s eyes.

“You have kind eyes,” he observed through the growing pain.

Kermit spared him a glance and a smile, then returned his attention to Obi-Wan’s wound. "Yeah, well don't let it get around. I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation."

The young Jedi hissed, biting on his lower lip as Kermit carefully examined the damage. Pulling out a handkerchief, Kermit laid it on the wound, and placed Obi-Wan’s hand on top.

“Keep applying pressure,” instructed Kermit, “just like that.”

Obi-Wan nodded his understanding. Kermit noticed he was starting to break out in a
sweat from the pain. “Peter, you’d better get us to a hospital, and quick.”

“NO!” said Obi-Wan forcefully, and then groaned. He was furiously trying to keep his
focus off the pain. “No,” he said a little more weakly. “No one must know we’re here.”

Kermit looked at him hard, but Obi-Wan didn’t flinch. Breaking eye contact, Kermit
sighed in defeat. He was afraid if Obi-Wan didn’t get help soon, it would be too late. The young man had already lost a lot of blood, and lord only knew how much he was bleeding internally.

“We’re closer to my father’s place, anyway,” said Peter, glancing worriedly at them in the rear-view mirror. “We’ll take him there.”

“Peter, your father is good,” observed Kermit, “but, I don’t think that even he’s good
enough to treat something like this.”

“We don’t have a choice, now do we?” asked Peter as he sped towards their destination.

I love Kung Fu. I was a big fan of the original show and the The Legend Continues. A fun crossover, I can't wait to read the next part.
