And now begins Chapter 3. My thanx to Another Chance.

Chapter 3- Turn of Events

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi stepped outside of the Jedi temple. They were dressed in full Jedi robes and tunics. They had their nerf-hide boots and belts on as well and their lightsaber was clipped onto the belt.

"Now we get to go to PLOKINA'S." Qui-Gon said when Obi-Wan asked where they were going. The restaurant was about two miles away, and the two had already walked the first half-mile.

"Jedi scum!" Someone called from a dark alley as twenty men of different species burst out from buildings with T-21s and surrounded the two Jedi.

"What is it you want?" Obi-Wan called. He knew he and his Master could disarm the men with minimum trouble. But it was important to see why the men just decided to ambush two Jedi.

" You and the old man," The man began. " Dead."

"Who hired you?" Qui-Gon asked.

"I'm the one with the gun." The man said. " I'll ask the questions."

"Very well." Qui-Gon said. Then he and Obi-Wan leapt an impossible ten meters into the air while taking out their lightsabers. They ignited their sabers in unison and deflected the oncoming bolts. The bolts alone killed fifteen of the assailants. When they landed, they stood back to back to the remaining six armed men. Qui-Gon ripped the speaker's blaster from his hand using the Force and caught it. He aimed it at the man. " Now will you answer me?"

"O.k., O.k!" The man screamed. " I was hired by a crime lord from Ord Mantell named Bouta Noul."

" Thank you for your time." Qui-Gon thanked as he tied the remaining men up and called the local law enforcers. He and his apprentice hurried away.

"How could they have learned about our mission?" Obi-Wan asked to his Master.

"There is no ignorance, there is the Force." Qui-Gon recited part of the Jedi Code.

"Okay, Master," Obi-Wan grinned mischievously. " How could they have learned of our mission?"

"There must be a leak in the Jedi Order." Qui-Gon said. " Call Master Yoda and tell him of the events that just happened. I'm sorry Obi-Wan, but we might not be able to go to PLOKINA'S."

"Understood, Master." Obi-Wan said, a little relieved. He was too busy nursing his small blaster burn and the fight had nearly lost his appetite. After he had called Yoda, he said, " What are we going to do now?"

" Well," Qui-Gon began. " You didn't tell Master Yoda that there's a leak, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, right now, we leave for a passenger ferry going to Nar Shadda. I'd like to find out a thing or two about this Bouta Noul. And pick up our supplies at the ANTHILL, we might still need them."

"Understood, Master." Obi-Wan nodded. The two called for a cab and went to the docking bay that held the ANTHILL. Obi-Wan collected their luggage while Qui-Gon booked a ferry to Nar Shadda. It left immediately.

On board a cramped ship called the BOOMBOX, Kenwi Bian and Quinn Gonji sat in the back row. The row held only enough seats for the two mechanics. Kenwi was dressed in a gray flight suit with a large belt around his waist. A hydrospanner hung on his belt, along with a multi-tool and a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol slung low on his thigh. There was also a small pouch on his left hip that contained spare power packs for his blaster and electrobinoculars. He had short, brown hair, and a close-shaved beard and mustache. (a/n kind of like he had in EP2, but shorter, imagine ep1 obi but with ep2 hair, just short in the back.) Quinn was a tall man. He had a single gray/brown ponytail that reached a little bit below his shoulders along had a beard and mustace.

" Are you sure it was a good idea to change the names the Council gave us?" Kenwi/Obi-Wan asked his partner, Quinn/Qui-Gon in a hushed voice.

"Yes, as it was to change ships and destinations." Qui-Gon spoke up. " It is important that no one knows where we are. We will probably be presumed dead." Qui-Gon recalled the event that took place recently where a bomb exploded on the ANTHILL, killing all of the occupants. Qui-Gon was dressed similarly to his apprentice, save that his flight suit was a dark black.

"Attention all passengers," a voice called over the intercom, " We are now leaving hyperspace. Please fasten your crash webbing and hold on" Both Jedi braced for impact.

Hi, hope u like it. Bye cya, later in ring squadron.
