Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic

on the theory that something is better that nothing....
Darii stopped in front of the cell holding Xanatos and took a defensive stance waiting for Nakai and Obi-Wan to do the same. She looked down the corridor expecting Xanatos' would be rescuers to emerge. Nakai watched Darii calmly, then nodded to Obi-Wan and they both flanked Darii and faced the darkened corridor across from them. The wait was short.
Three dark forms emerged and started firing. There was a flurry of blaster bolts fired and reflected before the three would be attackers took up shelter behind columns standing on either side of the hallway they had just emerged from. It was just enough distraction for Darii to activate the lock on Xanatos' cell and set him free while Obi-Wan and Nakai were busy deflecting the blaster fire.
Xanatos wasted no time in getting out of the cell and dashing off down the corridor to the west. Darii shouted and Obi-Wan sprinted after him before Nakai had time to stop him as did Darii, leaving Nakai alone to deal with the intruders. Nakai silently sent to Qui-Gon the particulars of the situation and to watch for Xanatos as he fled.
The first thing Xanatos did was start looking for a weapon. He suddenly emerged into the hall where Qui-Gon and Lohane had encountered the first party and found a blaster by the dead body there. Xanatos then took up a position behind a pillar and waited for his pursuers to come out of the tunnel.
Darii had not been able to catch up to Obi-Wan and he was the first to emerge and spotted the still form on the floor. He immediatlely went into a crouch behind one of the columns and reached out with the force.
He could feel Xanatos on the far side of the hall waiting just as he was. Then Darii came out strolling casually into the open space of the hall. Obi-Wan looked at her with total incredulity on his face.
"Go Xan, I will see that he does not follow you", she called just loud enough for both of them to hear. Then she flung herself at Obi-Wan, her saber raised for a killing blow.
***************************
Qui-Gon got Nakai's status of conditions and rather that try to get passed the three with blasters that Nakai was holding off, he sent Lohane on ahead and he doubled back to follow Obi-Wan and Darii. He could hear the clash of sabers ahead and wondered how Xanatos had managed to get a saber during his escape.
He emerged to see Obi-Wan's blue saber flicker and fail while blocking a low strike from Darii. The blow caught him in mid thigh he went down with gasp of pain. Qui-Gon didn't hesitate to fire at Darii to stop the killing blow she was readying for Obi-wan. She stopped her swung just in time to deflect the fire back in Qui-Gon's direction narrowly missing him.
He was not so quick to fire a second time but instead tossed the blaster into his left hand while he flipped the large pyranth crystal into his right hand from where it hung at his wrist. He activated it as Durgan had shown him and slowly advanced on Darii.
Obi-Wan struggled to move to a better vantage point as Qui-Gon tossed the blaster to him as he passed. Darii saw the move and backed out of Obi-Wan's line of site as Qui-Gon advanced on her. She was not alarmed but rather curious as to why a Nafieri would be here and lend aid to the fallen Jedi. What did the man in front of her want. She reached out to his mind with the force and found nothing but suddenly felt her self thrust back and almost off balance by a powerful force push. She quickly took her opponent more seriously.
Not only was the weapon he was carrying strange but he was a strong Force adept. Perhaps another Jedi in disguise from Gallia's spy network, that would explain much. But if that was so, why could she not sense him. Why was he being so cautious? She could feel no fear coming from him. Deciding she needed more information about her opponent she launched a flurry of strikes at him to better gauge his skill and use of the strange weapon he carried. Qui-Gon deftly parried each blow and continued to advance slowly but steadily.
This was the presence Qui-Gon had detected on the transport that had fired on the Nafieri transport. This was Gallia's daughter. His daughter, the daughter he had fought so hard to keep against Gallia's wishes. She was strong and beautiful and corrupt.
He quickly suppressed the thought, centering himself. He had to end this quickly. Obi-Wan was hurt and needed him. The flawed blue crystal in Obi-Wan's saber had failed as he knew it would and it had almost cost Obi-Wan his life. Xanatos was heading in Rhayna's direction and although he had warned her and knew she was capable of dealing with the threat, he wanted to be there, to stop his failed apprentice from doing more harm. But for the moment, he needed to be here right now and address the warrior in front of him.
She was beyond reasoning with he could feel that much through the force. She was commited to her path just as Xanatos had been. He would not hesitate this time and repeat the mistake he had made with his former apprentice. Suddenly Qui-gon found himself being pushed back by a furious attack of saber strikes. He decided he needed to distract his opponent.
"What do you hope to gain by this Darii?", he said with a calm icyness to his voice.
That did take her off guard but only for a moment.
"You must be one of Gallia's! Your disguise is very good. She's is very through if nothing else. But I have no more patience for her tactics. I will have what is mine." she replied confidently but her boldness was immediatlely shaken by the powerful advance that her opponent countered the words with.
Qui-gon's emotions were running very close to the surface now. He submerged his urge to speak futher with her knowing that she did not recognize him. He would struggle with what he had to do later. Then Qui-Gon attacked with no intent except to end the battle at any cost.
Darii was well trained. She had even studied under the Master Qui-Gon Jinn and held her own. She recognized some of the tactics as being familiar but half the temple had studied with Jinn at one time or another. This was just another knight. She should have no trouble with him. She countered his strikes but found no openings to gain advantage. But she had forgotten Obi-Wan who lay on the floor behind a column with the blaster that Qui-Gon had tossed to him.
She realized her mistake just in time to move enough that the blaster bolt hit her low on her arm. She quickly retreated back out of Obi-Wan's line of site and Qui-Gon pursued. She then sought to eliminated the fallen Jedi with the Force and slammed the unsuspecting Obi-Wan into the wall. Qui-Gon heard Obi-Wan's shout as he was thrown against the wall. It was more that Qui-gon could stand.
"This ends now Darii," he growled and flung himself at her in a renewed effort to put an end to the fight. As he did so the tail of his shabba came lose from his face. His identity was now visible to Darii in the half light of the gloomy chamber they were fighting in.
Time stopped for Darii. She found herself fighting face to face with a ghost. This could not be Qui-Gon Jinn. The thought totally unnerved her and her opponent took full advantage of it. The split second hesitation was all he needed to fake a parry and sink the pyranth into Darii's unguarded side. All Darii said as she fell was "You?".
Qui-Gon stood over her, his chest heaving with effort to regain his breath. He knew the blow was fatal when he dealt it. Darii would not rise again. He released the pyranth and turned his back on the daughter he would never know. Several floors above Ki Adi Mundi caught Ada Gallia as she stumbled and fell to her knees.

23/
Rhayna sensed his presence long before she heard him. He was alone and cautiously approaching her position. He may have already sensed her presence as well. She knew it was Xanatos from his Force signature. She had been the one to plant the memories of Qui-Gon's death in his mind and knew the feel of him. Durgan had informed her of the situation that had led to Xanatos' escape and that Qui-Gon would be in pursuit. She knew what would occur when he caught up with Xanatos as she could feel Qui-Gon's state of mind and it was no longer the picture of serenity it had been when she'd first encountered him. She would have to act quickly to avoid another useless confrontation!
Rhayna thought to herself, "What did Xanatos want? He was trying to get free to return to his Master obviously. As Darii had been involved, perhaps his Master sought this too. Well then let him serve both his Master and us." Rhayna quickly formed a plan. She would let him see her and then stun him with the Force. Something neither Qui-Gon or any other Jedi would do, although they were perfectly capable but it violated everything that the Jedi believed about themselves. Rhayna had no such restrictions. Once he was stunned she would plant a modified Jedi tracer on him, just under his skin, to be activated later by her through a touch of the Force. She would then plant another memory in his mind of him firing at her and his being stunned by her deflected shot. When he came to he could then flee to his Master.
There was a risk that he would attempt to do her harm before he fled but it was small and worth taking. The larger risk was Qui-Gon.
He was in such a state that he was not answering her through the bond. He was focused on pursuing his quarry and blocking all else out with the intent of dealing with it later. He failed to hear Rhayna in his thoughts as he quickly but warily made his way through the dark corridors following his former apprentice. Suddenly there was blaster fire ahead. Qui-Gon started to run reaching for his own blaster as he did. Too late he remembered tossing it to Obi-Wan back in the chamber where he had fought with Darii. He quickly swung the pyranth into his hand and continued to run toward where he had last heard the shots fired.
He came into a well lit intersection close to where he had entered the underground temple and found Rhayna lying face down close to the wall. He instantly reached out through the bond to her as he collapsed to his knees instantly sensing the scene that she had been projecting at Xanatos. He saw her fall as she fired at Xanatos with her shot missing her target but deflected back at Xanatos from the plasteel of the ceiling. Qui-Gon's emotions over took him then and he shouted her name and gently turned her to face him.
Rhayna opened her eyes and fixed him with a stern look.
// I tried to warn you. Is he gone now?// Qui-Gon almost dropped her.
"Xanatos?, ah, yes..." he said unsure of himself as he looked around. "Are you alright? I felt, no, I saw you struck..." The confusion was too obvious on his face.
Rhayna now could feel his mind, could sense his confusion and near panic at seeing her laying there. She realized he had been too focused to receive her call because he had been straining to sense ahead after Xanatos and had picked up the projection she had broadcast for Xanatos' mind.
"Qui-Gon, I'm fine," She cast about trying to get a sense of where Xanatos was as she pushed herself off the ground. "I tried to reach you to tell you what I was doing but you didn't answer. I didn't have enough time to try again. I'm sorry to have caused you distress. Please forgive me."
Qui-Gon was so relieved he just let himself slump the rest of the way to the floor. He leaned on his hands and was still for a moment.
"Darii is dead. Obi-Wan is hurt." was all he could manage to say.
"And Lohane is being detained for questioning. Durgan has told me. We should return to the transport. I've placed a tracer on Xanatos so we will be able to track him." she informed him as she finished getting to her feet and surveyed their location. Qui-Gon did not move.
"Qui-Gon what is it? Rhayna asked looking down at him.
He slowly stood and gathered himself and said, "Not here. There are still intruders trying to leave the temple. We should leave before the Jedi seal if off."
Rhayna watched him cautiously for a moment and then replied, " Then lets get moving." Qui-Gon rose and followed silently. He said nothing more as they quickly made there way back to their ship.
***************************
When they were back on board Qui-Gon went directly to the bridge and powered on the tracing equipment. He turned to Rhayna and fixed her with a cold stare waiting for her to activate the tracer. Rhayna complied silently not wanting to challenge him in his present state.
Qui-Gon looked back to the screen waiting for the signals to register. Suddenly alarmed he said, " He's going to the Malastare launch area. He's trying to leave Coruscant!." Qui-Gon went to get up from his seat as if to leave but Rhayna stopped him.
"Wait! If he is going to leave on one of those transports we're not close enough to stop him. Watch, if my guess is correct he is only being cautious and will leave the area as soon as a launch takes place. He's covering himself in case he's been followed."
Qui-Gon immediately saw her point and sat back down in the console chair.
"I will watch, you should get something to eat and rest."
"I'm not hungry or tired. My place is here," Qui-Gon replied shortly.
That was an all too familiar attitude that Rhayna knew exactly how to deal with. She was seeing Durgan when he was hurting. It was just what he would do, bury himself in something so intently that all else would fade into the distance.
"Is it? Is it also your place to be rude and short with me because I want you to care for your own needs?" Rhayna answered him with a steely evenness.
Qui-Gon looked away from the screen and sighed realizing he had been less than polite with Rhayna. In fact he was treating her like ... like his apprentice when he would get after him about such things and Rhayna was certainly not Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan... was he well? Yes, Qui-Gon could feel that he was resting. He would be fine. But that did not make Qui-Gon feel less responsible for his injury. He turned to Rhayna and bowed his head.
"I... I apologize for my rudeness. I suppose I could use some rest." Qui-Gon stood and strode off to their quarters, tossing the shabba on the the table in the galley as he passed. Rhayna watched him go, her mind reaching out to him only to be refused. She would give him some time alone, perhaps it would help.
She left him to himself for awhile. She listened for him waiting for the silence that she knew would come.
She called to Durgan.
// Durgan, is all well there? //
//Yes... No.... They are trying my patience with their politics. Lohane has been allowed to stay with Obi-Wan but they are suspicious of him still. I warned him not to do *anything* to encourage them. I am cooling my heels outside the council chamber for the third time while they decide what to do with me. How can Qui-Gon miss this!! Where is Xanatos now?//
// I am watching him. He's hiding at the Malastare launch pad, but I feel it is a ruse and that he will move after the next transport leaves. He's think he's checking to see if he's been followed. //
// What of Qui-Gon? He was certainly in a state when I sent him for you. He gave Obi-Wan the crystal that failed you know. Thinking Obi-Wan could use it as an excuse to call him back. I don't think he ever thought the Obi-Wan would actually install it in a saber. Between that and Darii, I imagine he'll be pretty poor company for some days to come.//
//As I have already experienced. I will do the best I can for him. You were much worse if

-24/1
Rhayna had been watching Xanatos. As she had suspected, he had left the launch area shortly after the next transport had left. He had then taken a very circuitous route to the Malastarian Embassy as Darii had before Xanatos' escaped. It puzzled Qui-Gon.
There was no evidence to link the Malastarians with the Supreme Chancellor although they were known to be in league with the Trade Federation. She made several inquiries concerning the Malastarian Embassy from contacts that she had worked with in the past but nothing remarkable was brought to light.
Rhayna brought Qui-Gon some food but he had little interest in it. He had been down in the cargo deck most of the morning working with the pyranth. It still made him feel uncomfortable to work with. He seemed not to be grieving on the surface but she knew that was not the case from several attempts to touch his mind. He had let her know that he wished to be alone, not unkindly, just politely.
********************
"Well Knight Kenobi, I look forward to working with you as well as getting to know you better, . And in future, don't hesitate to bring your young apprentice with you. He will find matters of diplomacy most educational I'm sure." Palpatine stood and stepped out from behind his desk to give Obi-Wan a formal bow closing the short session that they'd had together discussing what Obi-Wan's new duties would entail as Jedi Liaison to the Chancellery.
Obi-Wan returned the bow. "Thank you Chancellor Palpatine. I will bring Anakin when his training has progressed appropriately. I do thank you for your help concerning his mother. I will indeed see if the Council has any additional information regarding her location."
"Thank you Knight Kenobi and do not hesitate to ask if there is anything that I can do to make you duties less burdensome. A steady agenda of politics can be oppressive sometimes for one as young as yourself."
Palpatine smiled amiably as Obi-Wan left his office.
Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi walked purposefully as he left the halls of the Chancellery. He needed to get somewhere quiet to think. The news that Palpatine had dropped on him weighted heavily. Anakin's mother was missing.
Palpatine had supposedly dispatched Senate envoys to gain her freedom and return with her to Coruscant but she had been sold and her where abouts were not known. More disturbing was the fact that Palpatine insinuated that it was the work of the Council. He wanted Obi-Wan to discreetly gather information about it for him, at least that was what he had hinted at and that if his search should fail to produce results other measures would be taken.
Obi-Wan had been a student of Qui-Gon Jinn's long enough to be able to recognize a veiled threat when he was confronted with one. He would take this to Ki-Adi but first he had to see a Nafieri about a flawed stone that he had recently purchased.
He took a circuitous route to the Nafieri transport, watching his back constantly. He knew he was being followed but not by whom. It could be one of Gallia's or it could be the Chancellor's. He would at least let them know, he knew they were there.
He arrived at the landing bay and stated his need to speak with the Nafieri Jennar. The port guards made the request for him and he was allowed access to the bay and given directions as to which pad the transport in question was located. When he arrived the ramp was down and Rhayna stood veiled, waiting for him at the entrance to the ship. Obi-Wan took one look back towards the direction he had come reaching out with the Force to sense for his followers. They were there but had not gotten passed the port guards. He quickly ascended the ramp and bowed to Rhayna.
"I am Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have business with Jennar concerning crystals."
"Welcome Knight Kenobi. Jennar will be glad to see you." Rhayna bowed and lead Obi-Wan in side. The ramp came up and her veil came down. "How many followed you?"
"I'm not sure, but two I think. And I don't know who they're working with." Obi-Wan quickly looked around, "Where's Qui-gon?"
"He's in the lower cargo hold. This way." Rhayna picked up some water and filla wafers to take down to the hold with them as Obi-Wan followed.
Qui-Gon was kneeling quietly but from the sweat on his tunic it was obvious that he had been exercising. He looked up as Rhayna reached out and touched his mind. He rose and took the food from her and set it on a low container and then went and stood in front of Obi-Wan.
"Am I addressing the new Liaison to the Chancellery?", Qui-Gon asked with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Yes, you are, and he is not pleased with his new position," Obi-Wan stated sarcastically.
"Then I suppose an hug would be an inappropriate greeting." Qui-Gon smiled as he squeezed Obi-Wan's shoulders and directed him to sit on the deck by the container where he had set the food. Rhayna turned to go back to the main deck.
"Rhayna, please stay." Qui-Gon asked with just a touch of too much formally. Obi-Wan could hear the emotion and tension in his voice. Qui-Gon had been withdrawn since the fight with Darii in spite of her sharing the news of her condition with him. She had let Qui-Gon deal with his feelings but often reached out to him to let know that she was available should he wish to talk about it.
Rhayna nodded and sat on the deck.
" Your leg, Obi-Wan is it healed?" Qui-Gon asked as he helped himself to the water and protein wafers that Rhayna had brought.
" Mostly, I will have to stretch it more, but it's fine. My thanks to Lohane." he added nodding toward Rhayna. " Master... Qui-Gon, I need your advice. Palpatine dispatched a Senate envoy to Tatooine to bring back Anakin's mother. They couldn't find her. Palpatine thinks the Council has something to do with her disappearance and wants me to find out what I can or *else*..."
Obi-Wan ran his hand through his lengthening hair. "What should I do? What should I tell Anakin?"
Qui-Gon pulled at his beard for moment thinking. "First, you must tell Anakin nothing. What is Palpatine threatening?"
"I don't know really. He was subtle about it, but he definitely wants me intimidated. Maybe he has more information from Darii than we know about," Obi-Wan shrugged. "I let him believe that I will cooperate for now but if I don't come up with some answers he's not going to believe me for very long."
Qui-Gon paused again thinking, "Obi-Wan, why would he believe that the Council would involve themselves is this? They have no reason to. It would go against policy and there is no precedent."
"Perhaps he's heard about the Council's first meeting with Anakin. It's possible that Darii could have known about the subject of Anakin's mother from Gallia. He may think that the Council has taken the mother to ensure his loyalty to the Order."
"Perhaps. But why would that concern Palpatine unless he's interested in Anakin himself? Have you spoken to Ki-Adi yet? "
"No, I came here directly as I was out of the temple. This is not something I'd trust over regular comm channels."
Suddenly Rhayna cleared her throat. Qui-Gon looked up realizing he had all but forgotten that he had asked her to stay. "Forgive us Rhayna, we did not mean to exclude you from the conversation."
Rhayna held up her hand. "It's all right Qui-Gon, but I thought before this went further, that perhaps you should know that Anakin's mother is safe."
Qui-gon and Obi-Wan looked at one another, then to Rhayna. "How do you know this? Where is she?"
"That would be best left unsaid for now. But she is free and no longer on Tatooine." Rhayna folded her hands in her lap and sat quietly regarding them. Qui-Gon continued to stare at her and push at her mind. She allowed it but did not relent in her decision to conceal Shmi's location.

Phew! My old bookmark went to a page that said "closed" and I was really worried! Glad I found the new pathway.
This is just the best story, I don't ever want it to end! (I mean that in the nicest way, don't really want it to become a millstone around your neck, Rhui!) But really, there is soooo much still to come, I'm sure: what happens when they unravel the stuff around Palpatine? Yikes! and what happens with Qui-Gon and the 'Nafieri' and his new offspring!? and all the intrugue among the Council, and Xanatos! I can sense that there is still much beneath the surface that has yet to be revealed.
thanks for writing!

Re: Developing a Star Wars Fan Film Story

Nathan Butler of Prelude to Hope has written a very informative article on writing a script specifically for a Star Wars fan film. If you are in the preproduction stage and are developing that award winning story or if you’re a veteran and already have a script ready, it wouldn’t hurt to read up on what it takes to bring your story to life.

Re: Developing a Star Wars Fan Film Story

Great reading! I´ve said it a lot of times in this forums. Make a good story for you´re fan films. I´m doing one right now. It´s not easy to make it come to life and it will not become what I would have liked but I´m trying. A tip...Write you´re script and then try to make the special to a minimum. We have deleted two lightsaber duels because they really did´nt do much for the story. And you can often find better ways to bring the story forwards. Just a little tip on writing. And of course....less special effects the less time in front of the computer...
Force on...
