6 Whatever Tomorrow Brings
6.1 Temporary Council Members
He closed his eyes, although he had no need to, and drew the Force to him. He felt it pulse through his body. To guide. Obi-Wan Kenobi held out his lightsaber waiting for his opponents next move. All senses alert, he anticipated the burning blade of the red saber and ducked unknowingly.
Obi-Wan had been asked to practice dueling with some of the senior students at the temple. His opponent, Vix Shing, was one of the best in his class and Obi-Wan could see why. They had taken arms against each other for about twenty minutes now, neither yielded. Obi-Wan was impressed, he was much taller and more built than Vix was, but Vix's strength matched his own.
Obi-Wan did not let his thoughts distract him. Vix made an attempt to catch him off guard and even though he could not see Vix through the opaque blind fold covering his eyes, Obi-Wan whirled around and instinctively brought his lightsaber down onto Vix's. The pillars of energy crackled and hissed as they connected.
"Enough." Called out the gravelly voice of Yoda.
Obi-Wan took off his blindfold looking around a bit confused. There had been no real reason to end the fight. Neither of them had given up and neither was disarmed by the other. But after bowing to Yoda Obi- Wan understood why the fight had been stopped. His Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, was standing next to Yoda. With a swift movement of his hand, Qui-Gon motioned for Obi-Wan to come forward.
Before doing so Obi-Wan bowed to Vix, but he did not respond. Instead Vix was glaring at Yoda with his dull green eyes. He threw his blindfold to the floor with a snap and ran his fingers through his jet- black hair in frustration.
"But no one won!" He protested, his sweat-drenched face was red with anger. He obviously had not seen Qui-Gon before because when he watched Obi-Wan walk forward his face went a few shades paler.
"Patience Vix" Yoda replied. "Continue you will. Need Obi-Wan the council does."
Obi-Wan glanced at Qui-Gon who nodded. The two walked to the turbo lift and towards the Council Room. This was where the top Jedi Masters in the galaxy went to discuss important missions. Obi-Wan hoped that they would be going out on another mission. It had been a few months since they had returned from their last mission. He just hoped his Master would be able to focus on this one.
His Master's heart had not been in his work lately. His love, Tahl, had been murdered and Qui-Gon just could not seem to accept the fact that she was gone. While looking for her assassin he wavered off and onto the Dark Side, almost killing a person for revenge.
As they approached the doors to the Council room, Obi-Wan suddenly realized something. "Master, if the Council is in session why is Yoda in with the senior students?"
"Because the Council is not in session now. Only a small number of members will be there." Qui-Gon replied. "The Council needs to discuss an urgent mission with us and feel this could not wait till everyone returned to the Temple to explain it to us. I believe you do not know one of the members. He is currently sitting in for Mace who returns to the Temple today."
"Who is that?"
"Master Garmandi."
Obi-Wan was slightly shocked to hear that Mace was not in the temple. He normally only went out on very important missions and rarely ever left the temple. Plus, there was something else. The way Qui-Gon had said Garmandi's name and the suspicion coming from his Master. This was something he rarely felt, especially when it came to a member on the Council.
As the team entered the grand doors to the Council Room for the first time in his life, Obi-Wan felt a disturbance in the Force. A dark ripple washed over his body.
As Qui-Gon had said only a few members were present, four to be exact. Adi Gallia, Ploo Kloon, Ki-Adi Mundi, along the one Obi-Wan didn't recognized, who he guessed to be Garmandi. Garmandi looked like a tall, well-built man, much like Qui-Gon. His skin was pale and made his dark brown hair stick out. His ice blue eyes gave a stare that reminded Obi-Wan of the stare he got from Qui-Gon all to often.
*Why was Garmandi filled with so much hate?*
He could feel it protruding from him in ripples like on water. Obi-Wan summoned the Force to push away this distraction away and keep his mind on whatever he was there for.
Obi-Wan tried not to show his startled face as he bowed, but he could feel the darkness increasing as Garmandi straightened himself to speak.
"You have been assigned to a very important mission," Garmandi began immediately. "Qui-Gon you already know about this mission and can explain the details to Obi-Wan on the way there. Now, Obi-Wan, you and Qui-Gon will be going to the planet Zefron. You will be there to rescue two Jedi that have been abandoned for quite some time now. They are; Jedi Knight Mik Slavon and Zae-Non Sen. This will not be an easy task because this particular planet does not allow outsiders and also the bounty hunter that abandoned Mik and Zae-Non is still looking to keep them on the planet. You may leave immediately for it is a long ride. May the Force be with you both." As he said this he motioned for them to leave with a sweep of his dark blue robes.
"Be careful." Adi added "Qui-Gon, you well know what Ona is capable of"
Obi-Wan starred up at his Master.
*Ona?*
That had been the name of a bounty hunter that he and Qui-Gon had dealt with before, but she was dead. Could this be another?
Obi-Wan bowed and followed Qui-Gon out into the hall.
*Well at least Garmandi got the point across.*
Qui-Gon, how do you know this bounty hunter?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Save your questions for later Padawan. Go gather your things. I will explain everything to you once we get going."
As Obi-Wan went around his quarters gathering his things, he thought about the past few missions he had been on. They had been more difficult than others. He felt more distant from his master. The bond they once had was weaker. There was a gap. He knew it would never fully be back to where it once was because it was caused by the loss of Tahl and that in his mind could never be changed. Maybe he could fill in the gap. Get back most of what he felt he had lost.
After gathering his things Obi-Wan waited at the landing pad for Qui- Gon to arrive. He wasn't in a hurry to leave though, he needed a few minutes to sort out his thoughts. A couple things were bothering him about the meeting. The hatred he had felt coming from Garmandi, still the most bothersome. What was it from? Had the other council members felt it also? Obi-Wan knew Qui-Gon had. He had felt his Master tense up as they entered the room. It gave Obi-Wan a horrible feeling to think that someone in the room had been connected to a dark force.
Also where was most of the Council? Why were almost all of the Masters away from the Temple? Were they at a meeting with the senate? That couldn't be because Adi is a very important member and she would have gone. They couldn't all be on different missions. The same one perhaps and he would have heard of such a big mission if that were true.
"You ready?" Obi-Wan felt Qui-Gon's hand on his shoulder.
Obi-Wan looked up at Qui-Gon then to their ship. He hadn't paid attention to it earlier, but it was rather surprising. "This is our ship?" He asked
"Apparently so" Qui-Gon retorted looking over the ship. He then made his way up the rickety ramp onto the ship.
Besides looking like it had been slapped together with a few spare pieces of metal laying around in a warehouse, in various parts of the ship wires stuck, and it looked as though out of four engines, only two were working.
After boarding Obi-Wan looked around. It was not one of the best transports for long travel. There was the piloting room equipped with a pilot's seat and a co-pilots seat, a place for passengers to sit, or in their case slept with two cots for sleeping, and a small connecting hallway between the two.
*Well at least it will fit into Zefron's primitive aspect.*
"We are flying ourselves?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes, we must. It would be too dangerous and obvious if we were dropped off, and we couldn't risk another's life by piloting. Also we may need to leave in a hurry depending on what happens." Qui-Gon said. " Would you care to pilot." He motion to the controls. Obi-Wan took them and powered up the engines.

It had been four days out of the six it would take to reach Zefron since they left the Temple. Qui-Gon sat in the back meditating on his sleep cot. He still had not told Obi-Wan about the mission. He knew his Padawan was getting anxious he could feel it. Qui-Gon hoped Obi- Wan did not think he was trying to avoid him, but there was so much to explain. Remembering it all was the easy part, telling it would be the more difficult thing to do. What happened then was a disgrace to the Jedi. Qui-Gon sighed as he opened his eyes. He did not know of he could relive it again.
*How will Obi-Wan react?*
No one had ever told him about it and he was sure his Padawan was too young when it happened to remember it all.
Qui-Gon knew they would have to re-fuel in order to get the rest of the way to Zefron and they would have to do so soon. Now would be when he told Obi-Wan.
He went into where Obi-Wan was sitting in the pilot's seat watching the vast space in front of him. He turned around as Qui-Gon entered. Anxiety filled his eyes.
"We will have to be re-fueling soon." Qui-Gon said. He watched the hope on Obi-Wan's face diminish. "Plus, I think I've held the details back to long." He added with a small smile.
"Or was it because you noticed I haven't been doing anything but sitting here and wondering." Obi-Wan replied. He took the ship out of hyberspace and set the coordinates for a near by planet for them to re- fuel on.
Qui-Gon raised an eyebrow at Obi-Wan's response, but he believed his Padawan had a right to be a little bit agitated with him. He let out a sigh before beginning. " Everything started around the time when you and Zae-Non were brought to the Temple. A short while after you two were brought there threats started to come to the Council. Threats to kill some of the students if we fail to give up our youngest. At the time that would have been you and a couple others and of course we were not going to just give you up. A bounty hunter who goes by the name Ona Glandy was sending the threats. Ona means catch in another language, Sorrilian I believe. Her name means, 'catch us' in total. Which would mean she was working with accomplices. She somehow got into the Temple and tried to kidnap you and Zae-Non. We attempted to block her route to an exit. It was Tahl, Xanatos, since he had just become my Padawan then, and myself. Tahl retreated to get help since I had gotten you away from Ona, but she had shot me in the leg."
"You rescued me?" Obi-Wan said shocked, a bit of color draining from his face.
"Yes, but Xanatos was not nearly strong enough to stop her, so she got away with Z." Qui-Gon said jumping back to the subject. He didn't want to dwell on that at the moment " Since she stole one of our ships Tahl was able to track it to Zefron. We sent out Jedi Knight Mik Slavon to try and rescue Z. When he arrived there Ona made sure neither of them would leave. She destroyed Mik's transport and has been keeping us from getting to them ever since. Since the planet doesn't allow outsiders, we cant just all go there and try to get them back. We have to get onto the the planet without anyone spotting us. But, Ona has stopped every other team before they reached Zefron-"
"But that would mean she has been able to do this for about sixteen years." Obi-Wan said.
"After five different Jedi teams died as a result of Ona's attacks Mik contacted the Council. He said he did not want any more lives to be lost because of him. He said he could train Zae-Non on Zefron until a safer situation presented itself. It was one of the hardest decisions the Jedi made. No one could help but feel we were abandoning two of our own. The Council could not wait any longer. Sixteen years is too long a time."
************
Obi-Wan was in awe about everything Qui-Gon had just told him. Besides someone breaking into the Temple, someone was actually kidnapped from there and he could have been one of them.
But he wondered why no had ever told him. He also knew he could remember far back to when we was very little, but why couldn't he remember that time?
After Qui-Gon left, Obi-Wan sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. He needed time to think about everything and prepare for the mission ahead with what he had just learned. He tried to concentrate, but something was bothering him.
His senses told him to be alert.
Obi-Wan stared out into the space in front of him and saw an enormous cargo transport moving towards them. The only problem was the ship was heading right for their transport!!
************
Qui-Gon felt the ship lurch forward and he had to catch himself in order not to slip off his sleep cot. In one swift motion he leapt up and half ran down the small hall into where Obi-Wan was.
"What's wrong?" He asked
Obi-Wan looked at him slightly startled taking his hands off the controls. "There was a cargo ship heading right for us."
*Something isn't right* Qui-Gon thought.
He nodded to Obi-Wan and headed to the back of the ship. He looked out and up through the small window in where the cots were. The cargo ship was over them, but they weren't passing it.
They weren't even moving!
That's all for now ppls! Please tell me what you think! Should I go on? All kinds of reviews welcome. If u have advice I probably need it!
