It didn't surprise Qui Gon when they reached it that the security forces had chosen the spaceport as one of the bases of operations during the retake of Carannia. Since the rebels had been pushed back towards the center of the city the Security forces had made an especial effort to gain control of the spaceport since it blocked the enemies retreat and forced them to fight to the last man or surrender unconditionally. From what he'd heard the rebels had retreated fortified themselves on the security HQ where they had been the night before

The guards, a group of 10 or so at the entrance of the building stopped them and eyed suscpiciously when they arrived at the entrance. Obi Wan also felt one of the cannons mounted on a landspeeder locked onto them as it arrived to provide support if needed

"Who are you people?" The man who seemed to be the leader asked. His voice was harsh and weary, clearly he'd never been in that kind of situation before. Qui Gon wasn't surprised, the security forces were mostly used to police missions not military operations especially since Serenno was for the most part a peaceful planet

"I am Master Jedi Qui Gon Jinn and these are my companions we wish to speak with whomever is in charge of this operation. The man nodded as he stepped back for a while, Qui Gon supposed to contact his superior while his companions closed quickly the gap he'd left keeping their gaze on any suspicious movements on the group's part. A few moments later the guard leader returned to the group.

"Follow me" The man said as the rest of the guards surrounded them while they followed the man inside. Obi Wan felt the landspeeder turning it's cannon towards the street. It would stay there, Obi Wan supposed until the guards returned. Walking through the halls full not only of security forces but also civillians who'd been injured during the fighting and were waiting to be moved to another city's medical centre since the ones still operating in Carannia were probably collapsed made Obi Wan feel a deep hatred for Dooku for causing all of this. He calmed himself, a jedi could not feel hate, nor anger for they were ways to the Dark side.

They arrived at the landing zone of the spaceports where two large transports were landed with soldiers disembarking from one and injured civillians going embarking. The soldiers lead them to a place where a military officer wearing elegant clothes of a high ranking military man waited for them. The man had greying hair and a short grey beard. The leader of the guards saluted him when they arrived at his side.

"Colonel I brought them." the guard told him.

"Thank you Lieutenant, you and your men may return to your guard duty." The man said nodding and returning the salute. The Lieutenant nodded and turned around leading his men away towards the door again. "Welcome Master Jedi. My name is Alexander Valirium and I'm a colonel on the Serennian security forces and second in command in this operation."

"Second in command?" Anakin asked looking around. "Where is your superior?"

"Unfortunately to deal with this situation we had to brought security personnel from many cities around Serenno and as you may or may not know the situation around those other cities is not exactly calm either. He is checking to see if things on those other cities and is on the spaceports comm room. These rebellion has certainly stretched our resources thin."

Qui Gon nodded. "And what about the Count?" Qui Gon asked feigning concern about his former Master.

"The Count is fine." The colonel replied. "For obvious security reasons he had to be evacuated when the revolt started. He is on his palace a few hundred kilometers north of Carannia."

Qui Gon studied the man in search of lies. He didn't seem to know of Dooku's role on the revolt or his true personna as a Sith Lord. He nodded at him and smiled with fake relief.

"Seeing that you have the situation under control we would like to check on his status." Qui Gon said.

"Of course in fact we've been ordered to bring you to him when we found you and the lady of course." He smiled at Sarah who smiled despite being nervous about the whole situation. "That transport there." He signalled to an old small shuttle. "Will take you there"

"Thank you colonel." Qui Gon said with sincerity. "Then we will leave now."

"I believe they are performing the last comprobations on the systems, you may have to wait a little to leave but you may board now if you wish." The colonel spoke. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to work."

All of them nodded and watched as the colonel went towards the newly arrived to assign them posts and missions.

"I hope they take back the city soon" Kiara said as they all waked to the shuttle.

"I'm sure they will without Fett and with all the internal struggle the rebels won't hold the city much longer." Anakin spoke.

"The sooner we arrest Dooku the sooner this situation will end." Obi Wan said.

"Well you four can just sit back and relax while I give that old man a piece of my mind." Anakin said with a smirk and throwing a provocative look at Kiara.

"Or we could sit back and watch one of former best swordsmen in the order beat you, then arrest him." Kiara countered. Sarah smiled a little at the comments but Obi Wan and Qui Gon didn't seem to enjoy them as much despite knowing they were just meant to help them cope with their nerves better.

"Padawan that's enough this situation is serious." Obi Wan said.

"Anakin a Jedi must never be arrogant." Qui Gon said softly not really angry at his Padawan's comment. "Nor must he gloat."

"Sorry master" Both Padawans said in unison making both masters chuckle.

The group entered the shuttle and found it empty except for the two pilots whom Qui Gon greeted politely. They sat in the passenger zone and waited for the pilot to finish the comprobations. After a few moments two armed guards entered the shuttle Qui Gon guessed they would be their escorts for the trip. They sat at the end of the ship without saying a word and Qui Gon guessed they weren't too happy about it. Despite not seeing their faces the master could guess, more like the force told him, they were both very young, somewhat inexperience and that, to their disappointment, hadn't seen much combat during this operation and hadn't become the heroes they thought they would.

The pilot looked back. "We are ready to go Master Jedi." The man spoke. Qui Gon nodded and the pilot asked permission for take off. Two minutes later they were off to what Qui Gon would be the confrontation to end this mission and perhaps, the threat Dooku posed to the galaxy.

Siri piloted her frighter above the clouds of Serenno for a good part of two hours since Obi Wan had told her they'd took off from the capital. Ferus sat beside her with an unsure look on her part, while the boy could be very fearless himself, he was nothing compared to Siri, he sometimes reminded her of Obi Wan. Despite that Siri knew that once they met up up with Qui Gon and the rest his rivalry with Skywalker, and to a lesser degree with Kiara, although this one was pretty similar to the one Siri and Obi Wan had shared as teenagers and was less fierce, would take over and he would be in his best game.

"I'm not sure about Master Jinn's plan master." The boy spoke with a little fear present on his voice.

"Well Padawan it's the only plan we have and it's too late to change anyways." The Jedi knight replied. "Plus it's been a while since this ship's shown what it's capable of.

Ferus sighed knowing his master was planning on showing off a little. 'Siri' Obi Wan's voice sounded through the force bond they shared. 'It's time.'

Siri smirked and looked at Ferus. "Here we go"
