Hi all! The next chap is here. I'm all sad and junk… it's almost finished!
But we wont dwell on that now right… READ!! Hehe j/k…
Final Match
By the time they had reached Celsic, night had fallen and Qui-Gon wanted Obi-Wan to rest. It had been almost three days since he had gotten any sleep and was probably exhausted. They had gotten a small place to stay in Celsic's Capitol city Janhon. Qui-Gon had just gotten Obi-Wan to rest after a bit of a debate. Of course, his Apprentice wanted to find Z right away, but they need a lead first. They had nothing at the moment.
Obi-Wan had fallen asleep immediately in the small bedroom and Qui-Gon was left to wonder about Garmandi. Had the crazy Master gotten to Sage and Z before they even reached Celsic?
He had tried to contact Sage on her comlink earlier, but she didn't answer. But something was telling Qui-Gon to try again. On a hunch, the tired Master took out his comlink and tried the lost Jedi again.
To his great surprise and relief she answered.
"Qui-Gon!" Relief was all too evident in her voice. "I'm so glad to hear from you."
"What happened? I've been trying to get a hold of you." He asked, still shocked at her answering. "How's Zae-Non?"
"When the ships crew realized we were being hijacked there was chaos. In the midst of everything someone took my comlink. I just had it returned."
"And Z?"
There was a long pause that made Qui-Gon's heart seize up.
"If she was lucky to make it back to Brez…" Sage cut off and sighed. "She won't make it at this point. I've done all I can to help her, but I'm not entirely sure as to what Garmandi did to her."
"She's dieing." He said it as a statement, not a question.
Sage's voice wavered a bit. "If there's any hope, it's very little."
"We need to contact the Temple."
"Already done. They are sending healers, but they aren't going to arrive for another two hours!"
Qui-Gon sighed. "Obi-Wan and I will come over and-" Qui-Gon cut off and jerked his head up towards the window.
"Qui-Gon?"
"Sage I've got to go." He cut off their transmission as the sound of shattering glass ripped through the air from Obi-Wan's room.
*Sage is going to kill me for leaving her off on that note.*
Qui-Gon rushed to the door and tried to opened it. It was jammed shut. Backing up to the wall behind him he heard the sound of two lightsabers clashing together. The graying Master kicked out with as much force as he could muster and kicked the door inward.
Qui-Gon raced in drawing his lightsaber to find Obi-Wan down on one knee leaning back with his lightsaber up, as Garmandi stood over him pushing down onto the boy's saber with his.
Qui-Gon closed his eyes and gathered the Force around him. He threw his hand out towards the crazy Master standing above his Padawan. Garmandi flew back towards the broken window and fell down hurtling towards the street below.
Putting his lightsaber away, Obi-Wan ran to the window, glass crunching under his feet, and peered downward, then to his right.
"He used his cable launcher. He's headed for the roof." Obi-Wan said turning around.
Qui-Gon nodded. "We need to use the stairs. If Garmandi is above us he has a big advantage."
The Master ran up the few flights of stairs, with his Apprentice at his heals. The two burst onto the roof to see Garmandi leaping from roof to roof away from them.
Qui-Gon gathered the Force and sprung after Garmandi, Obi-Wan right behind. A few jumps ahead, their target had stopped and drawn his lightsaber. The red glow cut through the night as a vivid warning not to come closer, but Qui-Gon ignored the warning.
Landing on the roof he face Garmandi. Green and Blue now stuck out in the darkness surrounding them. The three pillars of color became flashes in the night sky as they connected. Crackling and hissing with every strike towards each other.
Garmandi landed a nicely put kick in the middle of Qui-Gon's chest. He flew backwards the wind leaving his lungs. Landing, the slightly dazed Master was met with more than just gravel and rocks. He was met with a wave of distress.
*Sage and Z*
"Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon yelled to his Apprentice already in the air halfway to the roof behind them. Towards Sage and Z. Qui-Gon leapt down on the street and waited for Obi-Wan.
Hearing a small cry from above Qui-Gon looked up and saw that faint glow of Obi-Wan's lightsaber clashing with Garmandi's. The Master stepped back warned by the Force as a lightsaber came flying off the top of the building. Picking it up he studied the familiar curves of his Padawan's weapon.
Jumping down next to him Obi-Wan landed a little shaky before taking his lightsaber and bolting down the street.
"Master where are we going?" Obi-Wan asked as they started to run down a deserted street.
"Garmandi was just keeping us away from getting to Sage and Zae-Non. He was a distraction. I think Showdow may be after Z for Garmandi." Qui-Gon explained while racing into an alley.
Qui-Gon cast out into the Force. Sage was near and so was Showdow.
"He's following us!" Qui-Gon heard Obi-Wan shouted as they rounded a corner into a narrow alley.
Qui-Gon stopped. "Go to Sage and Z. I'll take care of Garmandi."
Qui-Gon rushed over toward a parked landspeeder and reached in and started the engine. When Garmandi came into view he gunned the engine and let the speeder fly towards the approaching figure. Garmandi didn't have enough time to react. He flew to the side as the speeder hit him and continued onwards to crash sideways into a wall across the street.
Qui-Gon then rushed down the alley towards the end. Obi-Wan stood in middle of the alley turned to his left. He was facing Showdow who had a blaster pointed out towards Sage at the end of the alley. The Carver was slowly backing up knowing he couldn't win against three Jedi.
Scanning the area, Qui-Gon could just made out a black swoop looming in the shadows. Above the swoop the building was in the midst of disintegrating. A smile crept across his face as he decided to help weathering a bit. He threw his lit lightsaber towards the wall and with the help of the Force, cut the crumbling wall so it fell right down onto the swoop.
The Blood Carver gave up his idea of backing away slowly and sprinted off down a connecting alley. Qui-Gon took off after him with Obi-Wan at his heals.
The alley lead to a dimly lit street, but when they reached there, no one was in sight at either end.
"Master, look." Obi-Wan pointed to a misplaced cover to the sewage pipes below the city. "He must have gone through there."
Obi-Wan began to walk forward, but Qui-Gon stopped him. "Obi-Wan wait." Qui-Gon turned and stared down the alley they had just come from. "We need to get Z out of here and to the healers that are coming. Right now she is our first priority."
The two jogged back down the alley, still on guard. Qui-Gon hated to let Showdow get away, but keeping Zae-Non in the middle of an alley with Garmandi and the carver running around was not a good idea.
They reached the alley and saw Sage standing in the middle facing the all to familiar red glow of Garmandi's lightsaber.
"Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon whispered. "Get to Zae-Non."
Garmandi rushed forward towards Z suddenly. Using the Force he pushed Sage back towards Qui-Gon who caught her by the arms and steadied her.
Obi-Wan had rushed forward to cut off Garmandi from reaching Z. Qui-Gon knew his Apprentice was fast, but he wasn't fast enough in this case.
Garmandi would get to Z first.
Suddenly from the end of the alley two blaster fires ripped through the air.
Qui-Gon watched as his Padawan lunged forward toward Zae-Non and landed on the ground with a pained groan as one of the blast bolts struck him in the arm, but his attention was on the shrilled cry that Garmandi gave as the second bolt hit him square in the back. Ripping through his chest.
IM EVIL!! And dang proud of it too!! ::evil laugh:: REVIEW PLEASE!! No one ever does and that's all depressin! wellz till next time~
Peace Out
