Chapter Two

Later that day, Jedi Master Brenis and his padawan learner, Jace Enders, entered the Desurn Hotel after being escorted through the city of Bahsmaer on the watery moon of Kahto Musnu. They were relieved to finally be able to relax. The long trip to Kahto from Coruscant was awful for Jace. He didn't sleep well and suffered bad premonitions of a man in tattered cloaks. He stopped trying to persuade his Master of looking into his premonitions. He also began to feel something odd about his Master. Brenis had been very dodgy lately. Avoiding his padawan's pleas, ignoring hailed transmissions, and avoiding contact with the other team of Jedis.

Whatever it was, Jace couldn't stop thinking of it and never returned his ability to relax. So he tried to meditate on his feelings on his own. Still all he came up with was the same awful premonitions. 'Visions' he claimed they were. Maybe he would ask Master Yoda.

But during that time Jace jump to his feet from an alert. He fell a huge tremor in the Force. He went to arise his Master, but he was no where to be found. Quickly attaching his robes and tying them to his waist with a sash, he grabbed his lightsaber and ran out the door. Something was terribly wrong, Jace knew. And he suspected his premonitions were tied to it.

The city was in turmoil as red and blue lightning bolts actually flew out from the sky and hit ground with a boom. Debris and shrapnel flew in all directions and people ran from the street. 'There's one of them!' yelled a man on Jace's right. It was Colonial Magistrate Desnand. 'I knew we couldn't trust them! Him and that other ugly Jedi! Blast 'em boys!'

Around Magistrate Desnand was a squadron of armed troopers dressed in riot armor and wielding vicious blaster rifles. They opened fire on Desnand's command, their blast bolts trained on Jace. Without hesitation Jace Enders ignited his lightsaber and lifted up into the air, performing a flip to dodge some of the lower fire and bringing up his saber to deflect the blast in higher range. The riot troopers moved in, their rifles steadily aimed on Jace - blasting wildly. Jace didn't want to kill any of them. He had a respect for life and for those that were misled. He escaped into the nearest ally. And before the riot troopers moved in the ally, he had hopped onto a garbage unit and jumped to the roof a really tall building; using the Force to help him of course.
