This is a new series I'm starting well a series depending on how well it goes. I've got a few chapters done already so it should be updated fairly quickly like twice a week or so. I'm putting the rest of my works on hold for now.

AN: Since my name isn't George Lucas and I'm not part of his family this should go without saying but none of the characters except the OC (Kiara) belong to me since I don't own Star Wars.

Qui Gon Jinn, one of the two sithkillers the jedi order had, and one of the many heroes of the battle of Naboo, observed as his latest apprentice, who he'd been training for two years practiced his light saber skills against a training droid. He had to admit that for all the little train Anakin had had he was pretty skilled, surpassing many of the padawans with more experience than him. In fact Qui Gon usually preferred to make him sparr against himself, Obi Wan, or any other Padawan but in the last training session against the recently named Padawan Ferus Ollin Anakin had lost his cool and had seriously hurt the boy, who'd been verbally taunting Anakin, breaking Ferus's arm.

Once the council had learnt of this they'd punished Anakin to sparr only against training droids for a month, Qui Gon had to recognize that it was a good way for Anakin to gain self-control since the droids could truly be frustrating. Ferus nonetheless had also been punished by his own master, Siri Tachi, Obi Wan's childhood friend, who'd promised Qui Gon the boy would not behave like he had anymore after his punishment was over. Anakin groaned again as the droid's laser hit him again.

"Patience Anakin" Qui Gon said suppressing a chuckle. "Feel the Force, use it, let it guide you."

"Yes Master" Anakin replied, even though it wasn't the first time Qui Gon had told him that.

"I don't think Anakin understands the meaning of patience Master." a voice said. Qui Gon smiled as his former apprentice and his Padawan, a human female with Red hair and Green eyes named Kiara Jade approached them. Kiara was one of the few Padawans in the order Anakin was close to, she was undoubtedly his best friend amongst them.

"Haha" Anakin glared at Obi Wan. "Very funny Obi Wan."

"You were like that once Obi Wan." Qui Gon scolded.

"I'd like to hear that story." Kiara said smiling teasingly at his master.

"You won't because it's not true, I wasn't like Anakin at all." Obi Wan defended himself.

"Oh you were more similar to him than you want to accept." Qui Gon replied. "But you are right you weren't quite like him."

"I heard you got into a fight with Ferus a week ago." Kiara said changing the subject and looking at her friend. She and Obi Wan had been on a mission during the fight and had only arrived the previous day. "What happened?"

"He deserved it" Anakin replied.

"Anakin" Qui Gon warned.

"But master it's true!" Anakin protested.

"Perhaps but your reaction was born out of rage and you seriously hurt him. There is no excuse for that" Qui Gon said patiently. Oh the force knew Anakin could be very trying sometimes.

"Yes master" Anakin replied lowering his gaze.

"Can I join him?" Kiara asked Obi Wan who in turn looked at Qui Gon who nodded.

"I thought you wanted to sparr with me." Obi Wan said.

"We can do that later. Besides I have to show Anakin how to train properly with the droids." She said making Anakin snort.

"Go ahead Padawan. But remember Anakin is not allowed to sparr with you" Obi Wan said. Kiara smiled and quickly went for one of the practice droids and a helmet.

"I won't scold her for that comment?" Qui Gon asked.

"Perhaps later" Obi Wan said. "I suspect the droid give her enough of a lesson as it is."

Qui Gon chuckled. It was true, one of the reasons why Anakin and Kiara got along so well was because they were very similar, and very cocky, always competing with one another. It was no wonder that Obi Wan after two years of repeating that the Jedi had to be humble had decided to let her Padawan find out for herself and say "I told you so" later.

"So any luck contacting Count Dooku of Serenno?" Obi Wan asked as their Padawan concentrated on the training droids. Qui Gon sighed, Count Dooku of Serenno was his former Jedi Master and a good friend to him who'd left the order a year and a half ago disenchanted with the Jedi order. While he'd been in touch with Qui Gon for half a year after that, he hadn't contacted him again since a year ago and the force was warning Qui Gon something was wrong with his friend. And some recent rumors about the count alligning himself with some system to separate from the Republic only made the feeling worse.

"No, I haven't been able to do so." Qui Gon replied. "And if he's come to Coruscant he is concealing his force signature. The only way for me to make sure he's ok and confirm or dismiss the rumors about him would be going to the planet and seeking him out myself but the council will never allow it."

Obi Wan nodded knowing his master was right as they continued to watch their Padawan's on their training.

Count dooku knelt before the hologram of his new master, his sith master, Darth Sidious, also known as Chancellor Palpatine, Supreme Chancellor of the galactic republic. His Master was wearing his usual sith robes with a hood concealing most of his features and looking down at his apprentice.

"Darth Tyrannus." The Sith Lord spoke calmly and coldly. "How is our plan going?"

"Each day I'm approached by more Senators dissatisfied with the Republic and the senate my Master, a lot of them want to join our "Confederacy."" Dooku said without looking at him. "In Kamino the cloners are working on the clone army for the Republic and the Jedi are not aware of anything yet."

"Good" Lord Sidious said with a smirk. "In a few years both the Confederacy and the Republic will clash and the Jedi will fall."

"How is your other project going my Master?" Dooku asked. By other project he referred to the young Padawan known as Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, who'd been discovered and was being trained by Dooku's former Padawan.

"That's none of your concern my Apprentice." Sidious said but Dooku felt a hint of frustration on his Master's voice. Dooku smiled inwardly, he knew the Sith and their traditions as well as the Jedi's. He knew that if Sidious got his apprentice he would be discarded and killed by the order of his Master, there could only be two after all. At the same time Dooku thought of this Palpatine seemed to have an idea. "Although it might be. Your former apprentice is completely blocking my plans to turn his Padawan to the Dark Side,as I'm not able to meet him as much as would want to and he respects your former apprentice too much. He needs to be disposed of."

Dooku felt fury at his Master's words but concealed it. He was training to be a Sith but he still appreciated his former Padawan one of the very few Jedi that had similar views to those of Dooku, he didn't like to plot to kill him. Yet Dooku knew he had to let go of those attachments if he truly wanted to be a sith, he'd already killed a dear friend to accomplish the objective after all.

"What should be done?" Dooku asked.

"Contact the Jedi and ask for their assistance." Sidious said. "Tell them that the rumors about you and the separatists are false but there is a faction within Serenno plotting to overthrow you. I'm sure your old Padawan will volunteer to go for this mission, but just in case request for him to be the one to go. After you do that contact Jango Fett on Kamino, tell him to put a team of bounty hunters together and give him the target. He will take care of the rest."

Dooku nodded "As you wish my master. I have some of my men within some minor rebel groups. This groups could be beneficial for us."

Sidious nodded with an evil smile "Good."
