Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic
keep pushing me Eowyn, I need the momentum I can get... thanks
10/2 Hunted
Durgan was busy at the COM console once again dressed as a fully armed Nafieri. Black robes with the blue shabba and over tunics that identified them and merchants.
Lohane was still eating. He offered some to Qui-Gon, who sat and tried some of the rahsa that Durgan had made earlier. When Rhayna emerged dressed they gathered up the baggage and headed for the transport, everyone carrying something except Durgan.
Bringing up the rear, he said to Qui-Gon, "You may want to contact Ki-Adi before we leave. It will be the last time to safely do so. Our destination is filed as passing close to the sector where the Sith transport was last seen. Informing Ki-Adi will keep up appearances."
Qui-Gon nodded, "I'll contact Ki-Adi and Obi-Wan. I need to remind Obi-Wan that he must not mention you to the council and that Ki-Adi knows how to reach me."
Durgan nodded and watched Lohane and Rhayna board while he scanned the landing hangar for anything out of the ordinary. As Qui-Gon took out his communicator Durgan touched his arm and warned, "He's not alone, be careful what you say."
Qui-Gon looked curiously at Durgan for a moment and then turned back to the communicator. "Obi-Wan," he waited,
"Yes Master… Qui-Gon?" the reply came after a slight pause.
"I'll be leaving with the Nafieri for the quadrant where the Sith ship was last reported. When I return I'll meet with you at Phadrea. Do you understand Obi-Wan?" Qui-Gon waited for the inflection of the reply that would indicate that Obi-Wan had understood his request to be contacted later, discreetly.
Obi-Wan replied with a only a slight hesitation, "Ah…Yes Qui-Gon, I'll expect to hear from you when you return,"
"You may tell Ki-Adi Mundi that I will contact him when I have any news. Thank you Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon placed the communicator back in his belt.
"Phadrea?" Durgan asked as he continued to study a stack of storage blocks to his left.
"He'll contact me later when he's alone." Qui-Gon said as he followed Durgan's stare and reached out with his own senses.
"Something's wrong…." He never got to finish as Durgan suddenly whirled and lunged at him, pinning him against the side of the ramp. Qui-Gon was taken by surprise at the speed of the move and the fact that he had not been able to move out of Durgan's way.
In the next instant Durgan had summoned Lohane and had turned, taking off at a run towards the storage bins with Lohane close behind flanking out to the other side of the boxes.
Qui-Gon now understood what was happening and in one fluid move, dropped his pack and drew his lightsaber. He stood at the ramp ready to defend the ship. A figure started to run back towards the bay doors but only got four steps before he howled in pain and fell to the deck.
Qui-Gon didn't see what had taken the man down but could sense Lohane using the Force, not very powerfully but with deadly precision and focus. He could feel pain coming from Durgan and now the figure on the deck as well.
Lohane squatted down next to the assailant who was clutching his knees and grimacing in pain. Lohane touched him, sending him into unconsciousness before he could do any more harm to them or himself.
Rhayna appeared at the ship's hatch and quickly surveyed what was going on and with a broadcast ordered them all on board and to secure the ship. She looked at Qui-Gon with an icy stillness and left the hatch to go to the bridge and power up the transport.
Lohane returned carrying a limp form on his shoulder followed by Durgan carrying a small black and red Regellian crossbow in one hand.
The dampening crystals of the roishul, glowing softly underneath his robe.
Lohane went on up the ramp as Durgan stopped and silently motioned for Qui-Gon to board first. Qui-Gon could still sense Durgan suppressing his pain.
"Durgan? Are you all right?'' he asked as he scanned him looking for the source of the pain but Durgan now was shielding.
"No, but I will be. That should not have happened" Durgan said with finally struggling to take a deep breath, "I apologize for my lack of focus. Let's hope we gain some useful information from our new passenger and that he didn't notify anyone. I think Lohane took him down quick enough,"
He followed Qui-Gon up the ramp, secured the hatch and went to make sure Lohane had properly restrained the prisoner in the aft cargo hold.
Qui-Gon was trying to sense Durgan's feelings to further understand what had just happened. Why hadn't he sensed the threat when he clearly should have? Qui-Gon followed Lohane into the aft hold and watched as he applied restraints to the limp form on the floor.
Durgan, stood his hand on the bulkhead wall leaning heavily. He was no longer shielding but his thoughts were clouded and blurred by the pain he was denying.
Qui-Gon thought it would be best to immediately inform Ki-Adi of the situation. He took his communicator out and called Ki-Adi.
"Ki-Adi?" The reply did not come at once but the communicator indicated that it had been acknowledged. Qui-Gon was tense and paced as he waited for the response. Ki-Adi was in a meeting with the Queen, Yoda and Senator Palpitine. He rose to excuse himself, bowed and noted that the Senator's eyes followed him as he left the room.
Once outside he sought out a small ante room and dismissed the attending service personnel there in order to have privacy. He did not use the rooms assigned to the council for there communications although they had been thoroughly inspected by several Jedi for listening devices.
"Yes Qui-Gon?" came the reply at last.
"Ki-Adi, I will be leaving with the Nafieri for the quadrant where the Sith ship was last traced to. The Nafieri have been most accommodating in my transportation arrangements in spite of an incident that could have delayed their departure."
Qui-Gon was sure to correctly emphasise 'incident' and it was not lost on Ki-Adi.
"I see," he replied slowly, " I trust all is well with you?"
"Yes, for now."
"And the Nafieri?"
"They are handling things. I have deferred to their judgement in domestic matters,"
Qui-Gon said hoping to convey his new status as a bahar member.
"This is most interesting Qui-Gon." Ki-Adi replied smiling to himself. He had not been sure that Qui-Gon would take up the challenge but was glad now as he knew Qui-Gon's tenacity would see it through.
"I must commend you on your resourcefulness and please say "phasha bin' Chantuada" to the Nafieri leader for me. We are most grateful for their assistance. I will inform the council of your destination and look forward to contacting you in the near future. I will be here on Naboo for sometime yet and am expecting to hear from Master Nakai soon as well. Is there anything else that you need for your work?"
"Yes, I will need to talk with Obi-Wan. He is familiar with the Nafieri and should be careful concerning whom he discusses them with. Please see that he is instructed in this as I will be waiting for him to contact me."
Qui-Gon paused waiting for a response.
"This is unfortunate, I have just come from a meeting with him and others. I will see that he understands directly." Ki-Adi now wished he had not excused himself so abruptly from the meeting.
But he would return and let Yoda know he had news to report later and speak to Obi-Wan as soon as he could get him alone.
************
Rhayna soon joined them there to examine the would be assassin. Lohane was finishing applying restraints to wrists and ankles and using some kind of mind block on the unconscious form. He was dressed in simple black robes, he face covered by a shabba like all Nafieri wore . It would have provided him some means of looking as if he belonged on the landing platform. As Lohane searched for weapons he found a solid cylindrical object secreted in one of the man'

Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic
Got to keep my fan happy.. , here ya go JE
11 - Past Lives
Qui-Gon knelt quietly on the floor of the darkened cargo hold feeling the vibrations of the ship as it lifted off. He was trying to still his mind so that he might better deal with the emotions that were threatening to overwhelm him. Why had this part of his past come back to haunt him?
// Why now? //
He was struggling not to judge. He wanted understanding and explanation for the actions of his former apprentice. What or who could motivate him to seek to destroy him by such dishonorable means.
He had thought that his time with Obi-Wan had healed this pain but he was mistaken. It hurt now as much more than it ever had. Time had only served to disguise a pain that he knew he had to let go of. He needed to deal with his feelings and quickly. What would the Kadwyri do with him? He kept forgetting that he was part of the Kadwyri now. He would have influence here on what happened.
They must have had something in mind, why else preserve him so carefully or was this just their way of dealing with enemies. They were not Jedi and did not have the restrictions of the code.
In spite of his anger and what had happened between them he still felt compassion for his former apprentice, felt some anxiety for what his current circumstances might bring him. Xanatos may have brought this on himself but Qui-Gon would set himself to defend him if need be.
He reached for the mind inside the still form in front of him. Dreams. Dreams of a Prince, hungry for power, a Prince that wanted the power of the Jedi and destruction for all those that would deny it to him. Qui-Gon could feel Xanatos's mind poisoned by half truths, dark and twisting back on themselves into an ever descending spiral that would lead to nothing but his own ending.
The blocks that Lohane has placed prevented Xanatos from sensing anything around him. He was effectively cut off from the Force. It left Qui-Gon with a hollow, uneasy feeling to know he could move in his mind and there was nothing Xanatos could do to prevent it.
He absorbed the feelings and deep needs that had driven him to this. There was hurt and vengeance, and the frustration of not knowing who he was and the desire to be everything, but no remorse, just hunger for the promised power that would allow him to be a Jedi and the Prince.
// Could I have lead him away from this?//
Self-recriminations were not supposed to be part of a Jedi's life, but they came unbidden and were dismissed unanswered. Qui-Gon knew that the truth may have been that this was as it should be. That this could have been his own son here before him and he would have been helpless to stop it. It could have happened to him as well but it didn't. He struggled to find peace and acceptance for what he was powerless to change.
Having completed the course settings and clearing the atmosphere, Rhayna returned from the bridge and stood just outside the aft hold watching Qui-Gon. She could sense just from his self-carriage that he was feeling a profound pain, deeply buried from long ago.
She knew this from watching Durgan wrestle with his own old ghosts. It had taken a long time to help Durgan. She didn't have that time with Qui-Gon but it didn't stop her from hoping that she could help him now.
"Qui-Gon, am I interrupting?" she asked quietly.
Qui-Gon quickly composed himself with a deep breath and almost too softly to hear said, "No, I was just....thinking."
He didn't looked up a Rhayna and but held his hand out to her. She came forward and took his hand and joined him somewhat surprised by the gesture.
"You know him, are close to him, who is he?
"His name is Xanatos. He was my apprentice once." Qui-Gon said struggling to remain calm. "This is not the first time he's tried to kill me. But like this... I never thought he could be capable of this. They're using him and he's too lost to see it. He must be connected to someone of considerable resources close to the council to have known my where abouts. The prospect is very disturbing. I need to talk to him."
"Qui-Gon you're not fooling yourself or me. You're not upset about his connections. You blame yourself too much for this. If you know that you did everything you could have, there is nothing to regret." Rhayna looked at his face but he would not return her gaze. "You will have been bonded to him in the past then and the Council knows about him?"
"Yes, long ago, long before even Obi-Wan."
Rhayna knelt in front of him, and made him look at her. She took his hand in both of hers and raised it to her lips. She sent compassion through the bond to him. "Qui-Gon, it's not your fault. He doesn't know who he is or who he wants to be. You could never have given him that. Whether he knows it or not, he's chosen to be used by seeking power he hasn't earned. Anyone could have just as easily used him by giving him have what he wants."
"You mean by letting him kill me," he said with a low rumbling laugh to himself. "I'd like to somehow think that would not further our cause."
Rhayna was relieved to see that he was beginning to think beyond the pain. "How would he have your genetic key?"
"He could have had my hair but shouldn't have had the knowledge to generate a keyed poison from it."
"He knows how to misdirect too, that's why Durgan was late catching him. He could only have learned that from your Sith. They would have used him to get the material for the poison as well. This could possibly work to our advantage. What if we were to give him what he wants? We could let him believe that he had succeeded. Then return him to the Council. If they already know him, wouldn't they find it alarming that the Sith knew to contact him, especially given his connection to you? It just might bring our informant to the surface if we watch carefully enough."
Qui-Gon's brows furrowed as he tilted his head to look at her. "That's why you've been careful with him. That's why Lohane has kept him unconscious isn't it?"
"It would be harder to plant a memory of your death if he's seen you alive after the attempt."
Qui-Gon just replied, "Hmm, but what about the council and Obi-Wan? They'd know I wasn't really dead because they would feel it if it were true."
"We may be able to make them believe they have felt it. Would you be willing to try?"
Qui-Gon gave her a side long glance, studying her face looking for just what she was proposing to do. His thoughts were abruptly shattered by an explicative he was not familiar with. It came from Durgan.
Qui-Gon and Rhayna followed the sound of voices to the crew quarters. They looked in and found Lohane kneeling next to Durgan who was lying on his sleeping couch with his tunic off exposing where the quarrels were embedded.
He was softly cursing to himself between breaths. Lohane had one of the quarrels out and on a towel on the floor next to him but there was an obviously problem with the second one. Rhayna looked on with growing concern.
The wounds were not reacting to Durgan's attempts to heal them and he was also heavily shielding, more than he would have normally to contain the pain.
"Sorry Durgan, it's caught on a rib", Lohane said as he looked up to see Qui-gon with Rhayna standing in the doorway.
"I knew that the first time you pulled on it. Did you have to try and move it again?" Durgan hissed back at him.
"Well, I thought I could shift it a bit" Lohane offered apologetically.
"And you'd better get a bowl or something," Durgan added trying to take a deep breath, "I'm not feeling too good just now."
Lohane looked up with alarm to Qui-Gon and pointed, "Ah, bottom of the service console on the left, please?"
Qui-Gon sensing Rhayna's alarm asked, "Is there anything I can do?" as he went to get the basin.
Rhayna shook her head and looke

Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic
Oooh another fan!
Why it's a vertiable mob of ...let me count now... ah that would be 2! Well I won't keep you waiting...
12/1 - Distrust
Obi-Wan sat wondering if the meetings would ever end. He had new insight into why Qui-gon was less than enchanted with Council duties.
The political process was grueling and glacially slow. His head was still spinning with the events of the last few days. He was still trying to fathom his sudden knighthood let alone his recent acquisition of a padawan, with ‘special’ talents and needs. But Qui-gon had approved of both. He took comfort it that. His teacher and friend had faith that he was up to this task. He would not let him down.
And what had Qui-Gon Jinn done to deserve such treatment by the council? Obi-Wan had seen him reprimanded in the past but it had never been anything like this. No one had so much as mentioned his name since he had left the audience where Obi-Wan had been Knighted.
Obi-Wan had been meaning to speak with Ki-Adi Mundi about it as Qui-Gon was now under his charge, but he had not been left alone long enough for such pursuits.
Anakin had already fallen asleep in the large chair that he was sitting in. Obi-Wan was grateful as the boy had not been sleeping well these past nights. There had been precious little time to talk to the boy about it as they always seemed to have company about them. Obi-Wan had need of privacy now more than ever in order to return Qui-Gon's communication. It would have to wait until this evening, when hopefully, they would be allowed to retire at a reasonable hour.
Obi-Wan was still at a loss to explain what all this had to do with him and Anakin.
The meeting was with members of the Council, Master Yoda, Master Windu, Jedi Mundi, Master Gallia and a strange knight named Val-Sash Darii. The newly raise Chancellor Palptine was also present. The agenda consisted mostly of logistics concerning quelling the panic that had spead to outlying systems caused by the Trade Federations recent misdeeds.
“Master Yoda, as Chancellor, I will have need of a liaison to the Council when we return to Coruscant. During these troubled times we must keep our lines of communications open and clear. It would not do to lose precious moments during a crisis do to misunderstandings.” Palpatine was saying.
“Jedi Val-Sash Darii, has volunteered for this position and comes highly recommended by Master Sarvilus”, Master Windu stated.
Obi-Wan had heard of, but did not know, the knight in question. He had the uneasy feeling that she’d been sizing him up through out the meeting.
Val-Sash Darii was Corellian and unusually tall for a female. Her hair, long and dark, framed a face that was at once serene and grave. She had a dark complexion with piercing blue eyes that were hauntingly familiar to Obi-Wan. He felt he should know her for some reason that he could not quite put his finger on. Her expression had changed little during the talks. He had caught her several times studying him out of the corner of his eye. Her padawan Saura-Lun Khel was shorter and younger that Obi-Wan and had been attentive but quiet thoughout the meeting. She had a lighter complexion that went with the sandy blonde hair and braid but her eyes were dark, almost black, yet warm.
Val-Sash Darii had been watching Obi-Wan Kenobi from time to time to see where his interests may lie concerning the things being discussed. She was not impressed with his weariness of the proceedings.
// He is not very imposing looking considering he took down a warrior that bested Qui-Gon Jinn. He’s young for a knight, too young to be trusted with a Padawan. I can’t see what use the council will have for him, except to herd the boy about. You will watch him carefully Saura-Lun.//
// Yes Master. //
Palpatine was pacing as he spoke with his usual charm, “I trust that you will keep us informed of the status of your investigations concerning the dark warrior that attempted to harm the Queen. I am given to understand that you sent the injured Knight, his name escapes me just now, in pursuit of the assassin’s origin. I hope he was sufficiently healed for just a daunting task.”
Ki-Adi Mundi slowly sat straight in his chair and the posture change was not lost on Obi-Wan who snapped to attention and suddenly began to focus on the conversation. Mace Windu looked side long at Yoda but his face remained a mask concealing his surprise at the level of detail in this request.
“A report you will have when finished our investigations are,” Yoda replied flatly, glancing for a in moment in Ki-Adi's direction.
“I see. Well, that will have to do then won’t it.” Palpatine smiled as he returned to the table and gathered his data reader. “ I regret that I must leave for another appointment just now, but I will look forward to seeing you all at dinner this evening. This has been a most productive session.” He bowed and turned to leave but stopped and turned to Darii and said, “Oh and I look forward to working out the details of our liaison arrangement later today, Jedi Darii.” He bowed deeply to Darii and then the others, turned and left the room, a sliver of a smile on his lips as he knew he had just set the fox among the chickens.
There was silence in the room for several moments while they all calculated the implications of what had just transpired. Mace let out a long sigh and finally spoke. “Well he’s no Valorum. There will be nothing straightforward about this chancellor. How does he know we sent Jinn?”
“More importantly, does he know why?” Ki-Adi added quietly.
“Obi-Wan, when you were on Tatooine with Master Jinn, did you see where he acquired the control board that he brought before the council?” Mace asked.
“No Master Windu, I stayed with the ship the whole time we were on the planet. Master Qui-Gon returned with it after his second trip into the space port.” Obi-wan answered.
“And the dark warrior, appeared shortly thereafter? Mace continued.
“Yes, as he was returning with Anakin.” Obi-Wan answered for what seemed the hundredth time.
Val-Sash looked up to Mace and spoke, “If I may ask a question, Master Windu?”
Mace nodded.
“Jedi Kenobi, on Tatooine did you see the encounter between your former master and the warrior?” she asked
“From a distance, inside the ship, yes.” Obi-Wan answered
“Was there anything extraordinary about the conflict that you can recall?” she continued.
Obi-Wani-Wan’s eyes narrowed. What were they looking for? This was the third time they had asked specifically about the first fight that
Qui-Gon had had with the Sith. Why did they keep coming back to this?
“It was very fast and there was a lot of blowing sand, there was nothing remarkable beyond that."
Mace then asked, “And Master Qui-Gon was fatigued by this combat?”
Obi-Wan was now truly puzzled, but answered, “Very much so, he tried to make light of it but I know him well and have seldom seen him tested that hard in combat.”
“Obi-Wan, it would seem that your Padawan has had a very long day. Perhaps you should see to him now. We can continue this later, “ Ki-Adi offered looking compassionately at the sleeping form under Obi-Wan's robe.
Obi-Wan bowed to the other masters and went to wake Anakin. “Ani wake up, we have to go now."
Anakin just rolled over and sunk further down into the chair. Obi-Wan was at a loss for what to do and looked to Ki-Adi with a pained expression. He knew he should just pick the boy up but Anakin was so prideful, if he woke and found Obi-Wan carrying him, well, he would be deeply embarrased. This Obi-Wan knew all too well from his own memories as a young Padawan trying to impress the inscrutable Qui-Gon Jinn. Obi-Wan would try to spare Anakin those moments if possible, at least until they knew one another better.
Ki-Adi, sensing Obi-Wan's distress, came over and unceremoniously scooped Anakin up and said, “Get the doors Jedi Kenobi.”

Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic
out of the dark ...
12/2
The three masters remained discussing what had just transpired between them and the new chancellor.
"It would seem that he has very good sources, wouldn't it, Mace?" Master Gallia spoke for the first time in hours. She watched as they all went silent. "That or Jinn has contacted him. It is a possibility isn't it? We are not sharing all we know with him and I'm sure he's doing no less."
"What cause would Jinn have for contacting him? Because he worked with Valorum in the past? It means nothing. This man is different and knows nothing of Qui-Gon Jinn." Mace replied shaking his head. "No there is something else at work here."
"What Master Gallia has said, possible it is. If known the reason for sending away Qui-Gon is," Yoda said sadly. "Angry he was went we sent him."
"No, Qui-Gon is difficult at times but his loyalty is unquestionable." Mace said flatly.
"Then explain the control board and the trace to the queen's ship on Tatooine?" Gallia asked.
Mace put his head in his hands and said "I can't."
**********************************
Obi-Wan and Ki-Adi left the meeting and went directly to Obi-Wan’s rooms, Ki-Adi being careful to not wake Anakin as he put him to bed.
He then motioned to the other room and slid closed the door to the room where Anakin was sleeping.
“He has not been sleeping well has he?.”Ki Adi asked.
“I don’t think he’s slept a night through since we left Tatooine, and when he does get to sleep, he dreams too much", Obi-Wan replied. Realizing that this was the first time and maybe the time he would get a chance to speak with Ki-Adi alone, he quickly continued.
"Ki-Adi, why do they keep asking me questions about Master Qui-Gon? Why don’t they as me about the Sith? It's like they aren’t interested in what I did, even though I got knighted for it. I fought him as well as Qui-Gon, yet all they want to know is what Qui-Gon did or didn’t do or how he seemed or how did feel about what he did. I don’t understand. And then they send him off without a word. I won’t even get to share my knighting feast with him. I know this Sith business is important but why did they send Qui-Gon? He was still recovering. They could have sent any one of a dozen masters.
"Patience Obi-Wan", Ki-Adi said as he held his hand up motioning for silence. He then summoned attendants from outside the rooms and requested that food and drink be brought. He then returned and wentto the small table by the windows that were opened out onto the garden. He produced an audio masking device from his robe and placed it on the table.
"Please sit Obi-Wan, we have many things to discuss," he began.
Obi-Wan brought a chair over to the windows and sat down heavily waiting for Ki-Adi to speak again.
“Tomorrow you will leave for Coruscant. Stay close to Anakin. This time is very difficult for him. As the excitement of his fame dies down, he will undoubtedly miss his home and Qui-Gon. You must quickly, but carefully gain his trust. He will need you very soon Obi-Wan.”
The food and steaming drinks arrived and Ki-Adi had them placed on the larger table in the middle of the room and returned to the seat by the
window with a cup of hot fragrant liquid. "Help yourself Obi-Wan. "
Suddenly remembering that he had not eaten anything since the morning, Obi-Wan helped himself to the spiced tea and fresh baked thulli bread.
Ki-Adi continued, "Qui-Gon contacted me before he left with the Nafieri. Am I to understand that you are aware of his relationship with them now?"
Obi-Wan nodded with his mouth full and hesitated and swallowed his food before he spoke, "You mean the Bond, well, yes but Qui-Gon had not committed to it before he left. I thought perhaps he would spend more time with them before he decided."
KI-Adi closed his eyes and nodded, "He has decided. He as accepted them. The rest of the council knows nothing of the true nature of the Nafieri or Qui-Gon's involement with them beyond the healing, and that now is suspect as well. If you are questioned you must not share your knowledge of their nature or Qui-Gon's relationship to them. This would be very dangerous for Qui-Gon just now. He is under suspicion of collaboration with factions possibly associated with the Sith."
Obi-Wan's mouth fell open as he sat in stunned silence. His throat had gone too dry now to swallow the thulli bread he abruptly had to stand and cough. He didn't believe what he was hearing. After all they had gone through, it was inconceivable to him that they would question Qui-Gon's loyalty or devotion to the Order like this.
But Ki-Adi was not done, "Obi-Wan, you must understand that as his recent former Padawan, you yourself may be suspect as well. It's why they are keeping such close watch on you."
It was as if he had just been struck from behind. Although startling, the revelation caused many unresolved questions to suddenly become clear. And suddenly going to Coruscant didn't feel like going home anymore.
