Chapter 9~ False Alarm
Xanatos and Obi-Wan slept almost the entire trip back. Qui-Gon, on the other hand, was awake thinking and meditating on the problem at the temple.
'Maybe the temple is under attack. Or Wayne had made a threat towards the jedi in order to get Obi-Wan.'
The thoughts of what could possibly be wrong raced though Qui-Gon's mind.
"Master jedi?"
Qui-Gon looked up to see the pilot standing in front of him.
"Yes?"
"We are about to land."
Qui-Gon nodded and went to wake Xanatos and Obi-Wan up.
"Xanatos." He calmly urged his teen apprentice out of bed.
"Xanatos, we will be landing soon."
The youthful face of Xanatos come out from under the covers and he opened his eyes, just to close them and put his pillow over his head.
Qui-Gon smiled and pulled the covers off his padawan.
"Master, I'm tired."
"You can sleep later."
Xanatos groaned and got out of bed.
Convinced his padawan was getting up, Qui-Gon crossed the hall into Obi- Wan's small room.
He sat down on the edge of Obi-Wan's bed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Obi-Wan."
The young boy stirred and opened his light blue eyes.
"Obi-Wan, we're almost to the temple."
Qui-Gon watched him sit up and rub his eyes.
"I'm hungy Ky-Gin."
"Okay, we will get some food when we get to the temple."
Obi-Wan nodded and got up.
"Hey Obi-Wan."
"Yea?"
"Well you go wake up Xanatos?"
"Yea!"
Obi-Wan practically flew across the hall and on the Xanatos' bed.
"Antos wake up!" he said jumping up and down.
"I'm up Obi-Wan!"
"Antos wake up!" He said again.
Xanatos hit Obi-Wan with his pillow then wrapped him tightly in his blankets.
"Me can't see!"
Xanatos laughed and walked to the sitting room where Qui-Gon was waiting.
"Where's Obi-Wan?"
"In bed."
Qui-Gon sighed and walked to Xanatos' room.
"Me can't see!"
Realizing that Xanatos had done this, he rolled his eyes and helped Obi-Wan out of the blankets.
"Oh. Ky-Gin!"
The little boy grabbed on to Qui-Gon's robes.
"Antos did dat!"
"I know."
With Obi-Wan hanging on to him Qui-Gon walked back into the sitting room and they waited to land.
* * *
"We must see the council immediately."
"Of course Master Qui-Gon, you can go in now."
He nodded his thanks and walked in, Xanatos close behind.
As he stood in front of the council members, Qui-Gon noticed the small surprise that covered Mace, Yoda, and Ki-Adi Mundi's faces that he was here.
"Master Qui-Gon, not expecting you until tomorrow evening we were."
Qui-Gon was most surprised at this statement.
"What do you mean? I got a message from Master Windu that we should come back immediately.
Mace looked up.
"I never contacted you."
Qui-Gon was thinking about the situation when Xanatos spoke.
"You did master. You even sent us a ship."
* * *
It took three weeks to figure out the problem that had happened at Gynin. Mace Windu's holographic message was from a previous recording. And the ship got the same malfunction and was told to pick the jedi up.
Standing in front of the council again, Master Yoda and the rest were sending Qui-Gon and Xanatos on a very difficult mission.
"And you also know it may take many weeks. Possibly a couple months.
Qui-Gon nodded his understanding.
"You well also encounter many opportunities to be tempted by the dark side." Windu looked especially hard at Xanatos. "We hope you will make the right decisions and may the force be with you."
The two jedi bowed and left for the hanger.
