Chapter 1

Qui-gon Jinn woke up to the sound of banging on his door. It was his master Dooku Tyranus. "Qui-gon for the fifth time get out of bed!" Qui-gon rolled his eyes as he got out of bed and got ready. When he was ready he opened the door to find his masters brown eyes staring into his blue ones. "What took you so long? We have a mission!" Dooku grabbed his padawan and dragged him to the spaceport in the temple. Another master padawan team was waiting for them. The master Qui-gon reconized as Ki-Adi Mundi. And the padawan was Qui-gon's best friend Mace Windu. As the masters were talking Mace began telling Qui-gon about an earlier mission involving an asassin. Mace and Qui-gon were the same age, seventeen, even though Qui-gon was a lot taller than Mace. And most people. But not Dooku. "Yeah she won't be getting out of jail for a long time." Mace had finished the story but Qui-gon hadn't been listening. He had been thinking. He tended to get lost in thought sometimes. Mace usally noticed this. He waved his hand in front of Qui-gon's face.''Courasant to Qui-gon. Anybody home?" Qui-gon blinked an smacked mace's hand away with a playful smile.''Hey cut it out!" Mace gave Qui-gon a shove. Qui-gon shoved back. Before they knew it, the two boys were wrestling each other. Qui-gon got Mace in a head lock. Mace slipped out of it and began chasing Qui-gon around the spaceport. Out of the corner of his eye, Qui-gon saw Dooku scowling at him. Mace saw him two and they both stopped. Dooku strode over to them.''Are you two done acting like younglings?!'' They both nodded their heads. "Good because were leaving." They all climbed on to the silver ship and took off. It was a two day trip to Katari. Qui-gon and Mace were playing a board game to pass the time when a girl with long flowing brown hair and sunlight grass eyes came in. Qui-gon smiled. It was Tahl Majaka. Qui-gon had loved her since he was eight. "I didn't know you were coming." Qui-gon said as Tahl sat down beside him. Mace smiled. "should I have told you? Sorry I didn't know that you wanted to know that your girlfriend was coming!" Qui-gon punched Mace in the arm. Tahl laughed. Qui-gon called it her snort laugh. "ha-*snort* ha ha *snort*! Sorry! I can't help it. You two could make a transhodian laugh!" Qui-gon glared at Mace. "How many times do I have to tell you Mace! We're just friends!" As soon as Qui-gon said this there were two loud bangs. "What was that!" Qui-gon jumped to his feet. Dooku ran into the room. "Both the engines are out! We're falling onto Kashyykk! Qui-gon braced himself...

Qui-gon gained conciousness and sat up. He tasted blood in his mouth. He looked around and all he saw were the shattered remains of the ship. "Master! Tahl! Mace! Ki!"

"Over here! Qui-gon!" Qui-gon looked around and saw Tahl waving about twenty feet away. He began to run over to her and groaned as he felt a terrible throbbing pain in his head. He sat down and held his head. He looked at his hand. It was covered in blood. He must have a gash in is head. Tahl ran over. "Qui-gon!" That was the last thing he heard.
