Title: Nothing Left to Have
Author: Blue~Elli (that'd be mua! lol)
Summary: When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's new mission is turned upside down by a General/Monarch known as Brin Colings they happen to cross paths with a woman they've been told to look for. A woman with a clouded past that haunts her to this day. Now the three, along with the woman's, Jesiana's, faithful accomplices Thomas Hawkings and others, have to work together to survive the brutal Colings. Little does the Master and Padawan know of the past between the two rivals, Jesiana and Colings, and just what Jesiana is planning to do about it.

Nothing Left to Have
Ch. 1
Jesiana finally broke surface. Gasping for air she paddled toward the dark river bank. This river was out to get her she would swear to it. It would be her dying cause. Her hands struck surface and she crawled onto the land allowing herself to collapse onto it. She mainly concentrated on breathing and didn't hear the footsteps but then the whispers came to her ears and she julted up and around with her blaster ready only to face Thomas Hawkings, her long time accomplice and friend.
"Jesi, it's just me."
He whispered. She sighed in utter relief relaxing.
"Come on, we gotta get out of here."
He helped her up but her knees refused to lock to allow her to stand so he swept her up in his arms and hurriedly left the river bank.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Qui-Gon bit his tongue to keep from laughing as he watched Obi-Wan sleep in a very awkward position in his seat. One leg was over the arm of the chair the other had slipped off and his foot was on the ground. In one hand he had a datapad and the other had the vid-pen that was in the hand that was nearly on the ground as well. His head was tilted back and he was making a slight gargling sound as he slept with his mouth open.
Qui-Gon approached the sleeping teen still biting his tongue. He wondered if he'd draw blood soon. Reaching him Qui-Gon tapped his apprentice on the shoulder.
"Obi-Wan?"
He asked. He shook him gently and spoke.
"Obi-Wan, wake up padawan we're nearly there." He shook him slightly.
Obi-Wan said something unknown to Qui-Gon and tried to roll over. Unfortunatly there wasn't enough room on the chair to do that and he dropped with a thud to the ground. Qui-Gon couldn't help but let out a small fragment of a laugh as the boy sprang up in an instant saying.
"Yes, master? I'm sorry I feel asleep, I guess I was more tired then I realized."
He rushed out.
"Don't worry about it padawan."
Qui-Gon said giving him a pat on the shoulder then turned inviting him to follow.
"Sorry I had to wake you but we are nearing the planet now and I thought you'd like to look alive when we boarded off."
Obi-Wan laughed a little.
"Yes, thank you."
They were going to a planet known as Kishir to help with peace-talks and supply management. At the time being the planet was at war with it's sister Kishir II. Kishir II also had a large amount of slaves taken in from it's own population under the command of a brutal General/Monarch named Brin Colings. The war had been truly going on on Kishir II for years. It began when Colings took rule. Rebels aligned to overthrow him but somehow were snaked out and 'punished'. Which in most cases was murder. The lessers were in the slave mines now but many had been stripped of their titles and lands, which was an important part in Kishir society, then murdered as a disgrace. Now, it had spread to the larger planet of Kishir as Colings wanted to spread his power.
The senate had tried to step in many times before but were usually stopped by the war regulations Colings's representatives and the senates own laws that hadn't been used in so long. Though now, however, the slave mines had been exposed and the senate stepped in willingly and without hesitation.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan certainly weren't the only Jedi and peace talk aides sent but they were needed many on different areas of the planet of Kishir to insure that Kishir II didn't slide around laws and make *plans*...
"We'll be landing in about 5 to 10 standard minutes."
The pilot informed the two Jedi as they entered the cock-pit.
"Thank you cpt."
Qui-Gon replied taking a seat behind him. Obi-Wan took a seat behind the co-pilot.
Suddenly the air changed around the two Jedi. Shifted completely. The Master and Apprentice hardly had time to look at eachother before the ship shook violently from the first blast. Alarms sounded through the ship.
"Where'd that come from?" The pilot asked frantically.
"I-I don't know. Nothing is showing up on the scan-"
His sentence was caught off as the ship was rocked harshly again.
"Is it a cloaking device?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Could be but we should be able to see it." The co-pilot replied looking out into the dark space.
"It's coming from a ship from Kishir II."
Qui-Gon put in.
"Turn us around." He added.
The pilot flipped a few switches and did so. As they completed the 180 they were just below an incredibly large ship. A full stationary weapon from forward to aft.
Another blast.
"We're not going to take much more of this." The pilot said. "Our main power source is descending."
His co-pilot added.
"Get us as close to Kishir as you can." Qui-Gon ordered. "Getting closer to Kishir is closer to Kishir II."
The pilot said but did so in their little time.
"Well at least it's somewhere to crash with air and a chance at surviving rather then-"
Qui-Gon's sentence was cut short by a huge rocking.
"Then floating dead in space."
He finished as a rapid amount of fire was put on them. They went a little ways before the power source gave out and sent them sprawling into Kishir II's gravitation pull.
The ship turned over several times. Rolled, flipped, jerked, and heated before the sound of trees snapping was heard. The last thing Obi-Wan remembered was the sound of glass shattering and cold air along with the dawn of morning.
