Qui-Gon, having almost fully recovered from his ordeal was meditating with Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon was aware that someone had come in but he stayed where he was.
He was aware that the person came and shook his shoulders and shouted at him. 'Shouting? Who?'
Qui-Gon came out of his trance to find Yoona was the person shaking him.
"Quickly get up, I've set an escape pod to take you back to Errat but you've got to hurry."
Qui-Gon nodded and accepted his saber and belt. He took Obi-Wans and threw the saber at the still meditating Kenobi. Yoona watched in astonishment as Obi-Wan whipped his hand out and caught the saber with lightning speed seconds before it would have hit his face.
"Thank-you Master," Obi-Wan said as he took his belt, now fully focused.
Obi-Wan turned innocent eyes on Yoona, who was gaping at him. "What?"
"Nothing come on, it's this way."

Yoona gave the Jedi instructions on how to find the escape pods and then hurried off. She was sick and tired of doing what her master wanted. She wanted to be free of him and with her family like she had been before the attack. She wanted to forget all the years she had been with him and all the terrible things that she had done. Kidnapping the two Jedi had been the last straw. She had vowed to help them escape before she tried to escape. She would not stay any longer weather she succeeded to escape or died trying. She would distract her Master for a little while to give them a head start. As she reached his office she put up mental shields using all her energy. She hoped that he wouldn't be able to break through. She entered the room.
"Have you done as I asked?"
"No, I..."
Xanatos, her master leapt over his desk and grabbed her before she even had a chance to move. He stared at her and sneered.
"I see that you are afraid of me. You have guarded your mind but you will break."
Yoona cried out as she felt his mind bore into hers, her shields falling away almost instantly.
"I was hoping that it would never come to this Yoona. You were so promising a student," Xanatos smirked and pushed a button on his desk. A panel in the wall opened and she was caught by several cyborg arms. Yoona tried to break their hold but was she trapped. Xanatos produced an electronic device. He pushed another button and she felt her head whipped back, another arm pulling her long red hair. Yoona struggled as she felt the strap attached around her neck. Once she felt the clasp done up she felt a little wire like cervo attach itself to the back of her neck. Xanatos pushed the button again and the arms retreated back into the wall leaving her to fall to the ground gasping.
"You may leave now if you wish.... But if I were you I wouldn't." Xanatos spoke cruelly.
Yoona stood up and took a step towards the door. Yoona felt the collar she now wore pulse into life and the servo let out a burst of electricity. Yoona fell to her knees and it stopped. She turned and glared icily at Xanatos. He held a bracelet of some sort and was smirking at her.
"Now let us find your precious Jedi."
** ** ** ** ** ** **
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan crouched in the shadows as three aliens made their way down the wide corridor. Qui-Gon kept his mind active and on the alert, ready for when they would be discovered missing. They hurried down the corridor and stopped. Blocking their path were two figures. Both wore black and both were holding light sabers.
"Master", Xanatos jeered. "We meet again, but for the last time."
Qui-Gon said nothing. He took in the second figure.
"Oh I do believe you have met Yoona haven't you Qui-Gon. Quite an impressive specimen but for her will."
Again Qui-Gon said nothing as he saw the slave collar around her neck.
She looked away from him, not wanting his pity.
"You won't walk away from me this time Qui-Gon Jinn."
"As I recall it was you who walked away, not me."
Xanatos glared at Qui-Gon and lit his saber, the one he had kept from his days in the Jedi temple. He rushed at Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon stood there and watched as the distance between him and Xanatos was quickly closed. Then he stepped to the side. Xanatos went running past.
"You've gotten sloppy Xanatos, I'm surprised that you're attempting to teach Yoona when you don't know enough yourself."
Xanatos snarled like an animal and once again rushed at Qui-Gon. This time Qui-Gon sent him sailing over his head with one deft move. Xanatos turned a somersault and landed on his feet.
"Fine. If you refuse to fight I will make you wish you had accepted the offer when you had the chance."
To both Yoonas' and Qui-Gons' horror, Xanatos turned on Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan blocked blow after blow.
"Yoona, engage the other one!" Xanatos yelled as he attempted to slice Obi-Wans leg off.
"I'm so sorry," Yoona said and a pulse of electricity surged though her collar, forcing her into action.
Qui-Gon blocked a blow and aimed another, forcing Yoona down the corridor.
"Just take the collar off Yoona then you don't have to do anything you don't want to." Qui-Gon said as they turned a corner.
"I would if I could!" Yoona yelled as she tapped into her anger.
Qui-Gon ducked as she slashed at his head. He kicked his leg out, tripping her. Both watched her purple bladed saber slide across the floor to hit the wall.
"Let me try," Qui-Gon said, his saber at her throat as a safety measure.
After a few seconds he had the force on his side and in another few seconds Yoona felt the servo that had pushed its way into her neck fall come out to fall on the ground. She put her hand up and tore the collar from her throat.
"Thank you."
Then a thought struck them both at the same time.
"Obi-Wan!" They cried out in unison.
Yoona grabbed her saber and they both ran back around the corner. But as they had both suspected...it was empty.
AN: sorry, I had to do a tiny little cliffie… if you could call it that lol
