Disclamer: I don't own Star Wars

Chapter 4 Jedi have arrived

Anakin P.O.V

Today was an ordinary day for one, Anakin Skywalker. He worked for Watto fixing machinery that was to be on sale. Zat, his older brother, was currently doing a job for Jabba the Hutt. When Zat left Watto for the new job, he requested to Watto that Anakin get his old job. Since Watto owned Anakin, he would have made Anakin do it anyway, but was full of curiosity of why Anakin should get the job. Zat told Watto that Anakin was a whiz at electronics, much better than he was. Reluctantly, Watto had Anakin work in the shop, after that he never regretted having Anakin around. In fact, he would not sell Anakin to anyone now. Anakin was currently cleaning some robot parts and was thinking of the past.

Flashback

Anakin stared and stared at Zat. Somehow, Zat had caught the attention of Jabba the Hut, the current major power in Tatooine. When asked how he persuaded Jabba, Zat would just grin and say he was sworn under secrecy not to tell. Jabba hired Zat as an independent mercenary. However, he had all the privileges of being a full time employee.

Zat was sixteen at the time. However, he had grown to a five-foot twelve, and had cold eyes that would freeze any target. It helped that he could freeze time and could bring his target to Jabba relatively unharmed. Zat was still slim and slightly muscular. His hair had grown and was tied back in a ponytail. Anakin had sometimes remarked that Zat looked like a girl. He had his ears yanked at for that remark. Zat sill wore a dusty cloak over his tunic and trousers. He had a blaster strapped to his leg and short boots. He looked like a scruffy, evil individual. Or, as mom called him, her brave knight. Anakin personally thought his brother's taste in clothing a bit strange.

Anakin could now levitate several objects and see things before it happens. If he focused, he could lift Zat up and make him stick to the ceiling. It was a great source of entertainment to see his brother flounder, trying to get down. His emphatic abilities were growing stronger.

Also, Zat had started teaching Anakin how to fight, drilling Anakin in running, flipping, jumping, and balance. He would complain to Zat and his mom on how short he was. His mom would smile at him and assure him that he would grow big and tall. Zat would just grin and say nothing. Anakin had tried multiple times to let Zat allow him to pod race. The answer would always be no, never, ask your mom, and not a change in hell. After continuously bugging Zat on the matter, he told Anakin that if he beat him in a fight then he would allow Anakin to race. So far, Zat remained unbeatable. However, Watto had made Anakin race behind Zat's back. He lost every race so far.

End Flashback

Anakin was brought out of his musing when he heard Watto, yelling for him to get over there. He ran over there and caught sight of a girl. A cute girl who looked like an angel.

Zat P.O.V.

Zat grumbled as he preformed his task. Jabba wanted him to go to the desert and survey the ship. It landed outside the city and Jabba was curious to find out whose it was. Zat climbed onto the speeder and rode out to the location of the ship. He used his binoculars to see who piloted the ship at a distance. He waited in the sun, writing down who occupied said ship. It seemed like a luxury cruiser, with guards. It was very shiny and almost blinded Zat when the sun reflected on it. When Zat concluded that it was harmless, he drove back to Jabba's palace. He seemed clueless to the jedi that was watching him and the prickly feeling on the back of neck warning him that someone was watching. He arrived at the palace and gave Jabba his report. In a few days, the Bonta Eve Race was going to occur. Anakin would undoubtedly challenge him to a fight in order to race in it. When will Anakin ever learn he mused as he walked back towards the direction of Watto's shop.

When he arrived there, Watto told him Anakin already left. Therefore, off he went to find Anakin. He sensed his presence and a tingling feeling warned him that Anakin was in trouble. He arrived to see Anakin protect a weird orange thing with big ears from a dug. He arrived just in time to hear Anakin last parting word to the dug. He could see the dug tensing himself to attack Anakin. The big man and a petite girl was behind the orange thing, probably his companions he concluded judging by the light strands of color that seem to bind the big man and girl together. The stands of color also reached out to the organism with the big floppy ears. Surprisingly enough Anakin seemed to have strands of light attached itself to the girl. Interesting he thought as he cleared his throat to alert everyone to his presence.

In his most cold detached voice he said, "Are you threatening my little brother?"

Anakin POV

He was protecting the outlander from Sebulba, the dug. It seemed that the creature had accidentally provoked Sebulba and was going to get himself turned into a pile of goo. It seemed that the threat that the outlanders were powerful did not deter Sebulba from trying to turn Aankin into a pile a goo. A remembered a rule his brother told him, do not get in a fight you may not win. Gulp he thought as eyed the dug. He was very happy when he heard his brother voice.

Qui-gon POV

Qui-gon observed the boy. Anakin was a mystery. He had a strong force presence and was filled with light. He risked his life to save Jar-jar. Anakin may be the Chosen one the prophecy mentioned. He was about to jump in to save the boy when he was startled by another's presence. The tall youth that stood behind Sebulba surprised him. His force presence was strangely half there. When he focused his probe on him, he was surprised to find him slightly spread out. It was like sensing goo. His force presence seemed to be everywhere. His force signature was leaking everywhere not even a strong localized location. Strange he thought the Force must have sent him here to alert him to these too boys. He watched as Sebulba backed away and walked off. Both boys are enigmas he thought. Hmm, I wonder if Obi-wan would consider them pathetic life forms he thought.

Zat POV

When Sebulba sulked off, he turned his attention to his little brother. Anakin was very happy to have him here. Anakin grabbed his arm and introduced him to the orange one's companions.

"Hey Padme, This is my older brother Zat." Anakin said. He then pointed to the one with floppy ears and said, " Zat this is Jar -Jar. And this is Qui-Gon Jinn." Anakin pointed at the tall man. Up close Zat felt very small. Also he seemed to get this weird feeling like someone was poking him.

"Hello". He politely replied to the odd group. They also politely replied except for Jar-Jar. Jar–Jar's reaction to being saved was to hug both Anakin and him and he got almost whacked with his long ears.

He followed Anakin as he chatted with Padme. He was too busy daydreaming of why such an odd group was here in Tatooine. True, while they did live near a spaceport had had never seen such an odd group like this one. Padme, the girl, seemed to walk with an air of royalty. She hid it well but the way she walked and talked was different from the way he had observed from other women. Granted, most the women he had meet where bounty hunters or dancers, this one was different. The man Qui-Gon walked with a grace that he had never seen anyone walk with. Most tall and heavily built people do not walk gracefully, mostly they blunder about like banthra. Lastly, Jar-Jar was comical. Always tripping and whipping his head with his big ears flapping about. He reminded Zat of a giza, a big green giza.

He was too busy observing the group to notice the light saber or the fact they already arrived home with the outlanders in tow.
