Oxygen Deprived: I know that, if you're annoyed by the many characters that I keep bringing back so? All I care is that you enjoy the story, I like Qui-Gon and I have always wondered what would happen if Qui-Gon mentored Luke so I decide to write a story about it. Thanks for the review and sorry if this is annoying you but then again, that's why its' called FanFiction.

Chapter 12

Reunion on Dantooine

Luke narrowed his eyes as he gently guided the Nabooian Star cruiser into space and he glanced at his master as Qui-Gon glanced at him. He smiled slightly before turning his gaze to the starlit darkness above his head. He narrowed his eyes when he spotted the large Star Destroyer that lay in orbit around the planet.

"Is that Vader's flagship?" Luke asked gesturing toward the large space cruiser.

"Yes," Qui-Gon replied his sharp blue eyes narrowing.

"Is Vader really going to follow Han and Chewbacca?" Luke asked.

"Of course, Vader expects you to be with Han because he doesn't know about me, he wouldn't expect you to leave Endor in a Nabooian Star cruiser," Qui-Gon replied with a slight shrug.

Luke glanced at him his eyes narrowing slightly. "Out of curiosity, Master, what's your relationship with Ben?" he asked. "I heard you talking about an Obi-Wan and I knew him as Ben and I was just wondering if you knew him."

Qui-Gon smiled slightly. "I knew him better than most people," he replied. "In fact, he was my Padawan until the Invasion of Naboo several years ago, back before the dark times, before the Empire."

"Why didn't you tell him that you were still alive?" Luke asked curiously.

Qui-Gon shrugged. "When my body was cloned, after I disappeared from Naboo, I had to spend several years waiting for the clone to be complete as well as another few years to recover so by the time I was well enough to leave Kamino was actually when I met you eight years ago," he replied.

Luke smiled slightly. "Why does Vader want me, Master?" he asked finally after a few moment's of thought.

"You're powerful in the Force, Luke," Qui-Gon explained softly. "Your power is only matched by that of your father. Anakin Skywalker is the only one that is more powerful than you are and you may be even more powerful than him."

Luke nodded, he knew his father was known as Anakin Skywalker and he also knew that his father died when the Empire rose but he couldn't help but wonder what his father had been like before he died. He let out a long sigh before turning his gaze to the bluish white flashes of hyperspace.

"Your thoughts betray you, young Luke, your father was a great man, he was a good pilot and a very good Jedi," Qui-Gon said softly. "I may not have known him for long but I was watching over him when he was training with Obi-Wan."

"Ben was my father's mentor, Master?" Luke asked turning his blue gaze to Qui-Gon.

"I was supposed to be his mentor but I had been mortally wounded during a battle that became known as the Invasion of Naboo and Obi-Wan took him as his Padawan," his master replied.

Luke smiled slightly before he glanced at the navacomputer. "We should be reaching Dantooine in two days," he said. "Are you sure the Alliance is there?"

"I'm sure they are," Qui-Gon replied. "They were last seen on Dantooine and I don't think they have moved yet because the Empire doesn't know they are there."

Luke nodded. "Do you really think I'm ready to help the Alliance, Master?" he asked.

Qui-Gon nodded. "I think you are ready, Luke, you are learning much and I think it will not be long before you are ready to become a full Jedi Knight," he said.

Luke smiled. "Thank you, Master, I'm glad that you feel that way. I just hope that I will be able to become as great a Knight as you make my father out to be," he said softly.

Qui-Gon smiled. "I know Luke, I foresee you becoming a very powerful Jedi Knight, I once said that to Obi-Wan and it became true and now I say it to you," he said.

Luke's smile grew bigger. "Thank you, Master, I really appreciate it," he said. Qui-Gon nodded before turning his sharp blue gaze to the bluish white flashes of hyperspace.

Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes as he walked with Mon Mothma, General Rieekan and General Madine down the hallways of the temporary rebel base on Dantooine. More than eight years had gone by since he had last seen Luke and he couldn't help but wonder how the boy was. He glanced at Mon Mothma. "And you said that this Star cruiser is Nabooian?" he asked referring to the star cruiser that had just contacted them.

Mon Mothma nodded. "Yes, Master Jedi, they passed on the clearance codes and they wanted to meet with the leaders of the Alliance. You have been helping the Alliance for eight years so I consider you as a leader of the Alliance."

"Thank you, Mon Mothma," Obi-Wan replied. He narrowed his eyes slightly though his thoughts drifted to Luke's twin sister, Leia, who was also a prominent member of the Rebel Alliance who worked as a Senator of Alderaan within the Senate. He had to hope that Emperor Palpatine wouldn't be able to figure out who Leia is related to.

He followed Mon Mothma, Rieekan, and Madine into the hangar bay and narrowed his eyes as the Nabooian ship came to a stop. Mon Mothma narrowed her eyes as well as they made their way toward the Nabooian ship and the ship opened up.

The first one out was one that Obi-Wan never thought he would see again, the last time he had seen him had been eight years ago. The one to follow Luke out of the ship was one that took Obi-Wan completely by shock and he was close to fainting from the shock.

It was his old master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

"Hello," Qui-Gon greeted them as he made his way calmly over to join them with Luke just behind him.

"Hello, who might you be?" Mon Mothma asked.

A small smile crossed Qui-Gon's facial features. "You can ask Obi-Wan, judging by the shock on his face, he recognizes me," he said.

Obi-Wan hadn't realized the shock was practically glowing on his face and he blinked before narrowing his eyes. "Qui-Gon? But you died at the Invasion of Naboo!" he protested.

Qui-Gon smiled again. "Everyone thought that, Obi-Wan, but I survived and I found myself stranded on Kamino," he replied. He glanced at Luke before saying, "And I know that you remember Luke."

"Indeed I do, hello Luke," Obi-Wan said turning his gray-blue gaze to Luke who smiled and dipped his head.

"Hello Master Obi-Wan," he replied. He turned his gaze to Qui-Gon. "Are you sure the Empire didn't follow us, Master?"

Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow. "Master?" he echoed.

Qui-Gon nodded. "I took Luke as my Padawan, he is very adept at learning the Force and his lightsaber skills are getting better in the eight years that I have trained him, and no, Luke, the Empire didn't follow us," he said.

"So that's why I haven't seen Luke in eight years," Obi-Wan said his eyes going wide. "You do realize Vader is probably tearing the galaxy apart looking for him."

"Yes, that is why Han and Chewbacca are leading him on a wild goose chase to Zhar while we came here," Qui-Gon replied with a shrug.

"Hello Master Jedi," Rieekan said.

"Hello, we have come to join the Alliance," Qui-Gon replied turning his gaze to Rieekan.

"You are welcomed, Master Jedi," Rieekan replied with a slight dip of his head.

Qui-Gon nodded before glancing at Luke who smiled. "Do you think we can do some lightsaber training? I hated being cooped up in that ship for days," he complained.

Qui-Gon chuckled. "If it is all right with Mon Mothma and the other Alliance leaders," he replied.

"Go right ahead, Master Jedi," Mon Mothma said. She, Rieekan and Madine made their way out of the hangar bay and Mon Mothma glanced over her shoulder at Obi-Wan who stayed behind. "Are you coming, Master Obi-Wan?"

"No, I think I'm going to stay here and catch up with my old master," Obi-Wan replied.

Mon Mothma nodded before disappearing down the hallway and Obi-Wan turned his gaze back to Qui-Gon. "I still can't believe it," he admitted.

Qui-Gon shrugged. "I figured it was best to reveal myself now, the Jedi need to return to the galaxy if Emperor Palpatine is to be overthrown and the galaxy returned to peace," he said.

Obi-Wan nodded though he found his thoughts drifting to his fallen apprentice. If Qui-Gon had been Anakin's mentor, would Anakin have fallen to the dark side? he wondered silently and, not for the first time, he began to wonder if Qui-Gon really was the Jedi meant to train Anakin.
