Hi, I'm back. Sorry for the long wait. I'm not really. Here goes the next
chapter. And as before, I'm pulling this put of the top of my head, so
excuse me if it sux. Oh, and I got the title of this chapter from the Lion
King when Simba and Nala run into the elephant graveyard. Oh, I also take a
scene from Ep1, k Mr. Lucas? In the excerpt, I misspelled things like Qui
and Obi's name, to avoid lawsuit if someone finds time to sue some author
off of fanfiction.
Chapter 6- A Trio of Trespassers
Qui-Gon and Saesee Tinn walked toward a small Republic Cruiser, suitable for no more than seven people. The plan was changed because Adi Gallia's padawan, Siri Tachi, had decided to sneak along. The plan was that Mace Windu and Yoda would take a ferry ship to Ord Mantell. Yoda would be hidden in a duffel bag due to his rare species. The bag would be sited with a way to get oxygen and to hide Yoda should the bag open in front of people. Adi, Siri, and Obi-Wan would take the ship that Mace won in the casino and go to Ord Mantell disguised as a single mother who finally worked up the funds to get her and her children offworld, and Qui-Gon and Saesee Tinn wouldn't be disguised. Surely Ord Mantell would expect Jedi to come, so Qui-Gon and Master Tinn would go as. Jedi. They'd take a small Republic Cruiser and arrive the main way. Then they'd sneak off and meet with the other Jedi. Then the attack would commence.
"Look's a little small," Saesee Tinn said, titled his head with two huge horns coming down to the side.
"It'll do," Qui-Gon grinned. Though he was not Master Tinn's best friend, the two had shared some good times together. The two boarded the ramp and were very surprised at who they saw.
"What the sith are you doing here?" Qui-Gon yelled at the three Jedi sitting before him in. Before him was Jedi Kit Fitso, Jedi Luminara Unduli, and Padawan Barriss Offee.
"Tone the language down." Luminara said softly, "Someone had to drive the ship here, so I chose to. And where I go, my padawan must go as well. Then Knight Fitso came because you could use his help, you are in way over your head."
"And how would you know?" Qui-Gon asked as he sat in the pilot's chair and began prepping for launch.
"Before I chose Barriss as my apprentice, I had a mission on Ord Mantell. I too, ran into Bouta Noul. He has many Sith warriors and if that is not enough, he has an incredible droid army. Enough to take over a remote planet with. I've seen your plans and I know how we can fit in. Barriss will join your stealth squad, and Fitso and I will be part of your attack squad.
"Qui-Gon," Saesee got his peer's attention, "There's no use arguing, I guess the rest of them will be surprised, hopefully for the best." Qui-Gon sighed, a sign he usually used to let others know he gives up. He then spun around and brought the ship out of orbit and into hyperspace.
"How long until we get to Ord Mantell?" Kit Fitso asked Qui-Gon. The two Jedi barely knew each other.
"A few days, probably two if we put most of the power to engines." Qui-Gon answered. He then retreated to a back cabin and laid down on an exercise bench. Saesee Tinn did likewise, both were tired, seeing as they hadn't slept in two days. The other three crew members tried to sleep as well, it would certainly help if they were on the same sleep zone as the rest of the group.
Qui-Gom and Obi-Wam walked behind a group of people in a hangar littered with broken battle druids and dead fighters. The leader of the group, a royal looking woman, opened a large door at the end of the hangar to reveal a tall man, his head was covered with horns and tattooed red and black. His head was bowed, and when the door opened, he raised it, yellow eyes glaring.
"We'll handle this," Q ui-Gom said as he and his apprentice strode to the front. The leader nodded and led the group to a different route to get to their destination. The man removed his hood and dropped his black robe on the polished floor. The two Jedi did the same. The sound of blasterfire could be heard in the distance. The man removed a long lightsaber handle from under his kilt and held it sideways. One red beam sprouted out of one end as another quickly followed suit. The two Jedi revealed their lightsabers and held them in a defensive position, they ignited their blades as the demon-like man ran forward to attack. Obi-Wam flipped forward over the man's head and struck, the man twitched his blade, intercepted the blow, and ducked under Qui-Gom's blow. Repeatedly, the two Jedi attacked and defended against the skilled warrior. The hangar was now empty. The warrior blocked several blows from the Jedi before kicked Qui-Gom to the ground. He then performed a cartwheel, then used the Force to fling a small droid at the controls to a door, opening it immediately. He blocked the blows from Obi-Wam, kicked him to the ground, and dealt with the oncoming Qui-Gom. He spun his lightsaber with blinding speed, then stepped into a large control center. It was filled with floating rings and purple lasers. Obi-Wam was now back, slicing at the man as he backed away. They were on a black circle now. Branching from it were many bridges of similar color. The man backed up until he was next to a control console. His foot tried to back up more, but stopped as it met empty space. Qui-Gom could see him attempt to regain balance. The demon glared at the two Jedi. They gazed back coldly as the man backflipped onto a bridge many meters behind him. The Jedi ran and jumped as well. Qui-Gom made it without the needed boost from a mid-air somersault. His padawan used the boost, but played it off like a true professional as he landed and locked blades with the tattooed man. They were on a long bridge, the man broke the lock with Obi-Wam and blocked blows from both of the Jedi. Obi-Wam struck a heavy blow, the man blocked, offsetting Obi-Wam's balance. He rolled and fell onto another bridge many feet below. He landed hard on his shoulder and rolled some more. His lightsaber dropped from his hands and onto the corridor as he continued rolling. He grabbed onto the edge, praying not to fall. Qui-Gom continued fighting with the demon until he had him backed to the edge. He then struck a blow using much of his strength. The man lost his balance and plummeted half as far as Obi-Wam did, only to land on a bridge. Qui-Gom leapt onto the same bridge as the man who was still on his back. The man cut at Qui-Gom to make him turn to block it. The he spun onto his feet and continued striking at the old Jedi. Obi-Wam pulled himself up, grabbed his lightsaber, and leapt onto the same bridge as the two opponents. They were approaching a hallway filled with red panes of energy that switched on and off on whim. Obi-Wam ran to catch up, but was caught between two of the panes. Qui-Gom's lightsaber was red at the bottom, a sign of being in use, probably unique to his 'saber. The demon attempted to cut at the pane separating him and Qui-Gom, but it was stopped. Qui-Gom switched his saber off and sat down to meditate. The demon switched his off as well, put began pacing, much like a predator would do if caged. Obi-Wam stood, anxiously waiting to catch up to his master. He ignited his lightsaber a split second before the panes disintegrated, Qui-Gom spun to his feet and rained blows upon the demon. Obi-Wam ran forward, hoping he wouldn't get stuck again. The chances were slim. Qui-Gom spun and sliced at the warrior's back feet. The warrior blocked and spun his blade at Qui-Gom's front, the elder blocking every one. The younger was up in Qui-Gom's face, striking, only to be denied a killing blow. The younger backed away, sneered with blackened teeth. He stepped forward and let loose many blows upon Qui-Gom. Then, he shoved his handle into Qui-Gom's nose, as the older man backed away in pain, the demon twisted his blade and speared it into Qui-Gom's chest, then withdrew it, leaving a small hole in his middle. He gasped as he sank to the ground, breathing slowly. He heard his padawan scream in protest as the panes disintegrated once again and Obi-Wam lunged forward, ready to battle. He attacked aggressively at the horned demon. He was very angry, now. Qui- Gom moaned and rolled a bit, watching the fight as he began to die away. Obi-Wam blocked blow after blow, then sliced forward and sliced his opponent's saber in half. He then kicked the man down and flipped over him. The man jumped up and ran around the large circle in the middle of the room. He then kicked Obi-Wam in the chin, causing him to flip backwards they continued to battle for several more blows before the demon pushed Obi- Wam telekinetically into the pit. He grabbed on to a knob sticking out for the otherwise smooth inside of the pit. His lightsaber rested several meters above him. It was now plummeting below him due to a kick from the tattooed Sith warrior. He rained sparks down onto the Jedi who was dangling above a long freefall. Obi-Wam then eyed his master's lightsaber and nudged it subtly with the Force. The man glared at him, wondering what he was doing. The Obi-Wam heaved himself vertically and pulled the saber towards him. He grabbed it and ignited the emerald blade, landing directly in front if the horned devil. Obi-Wam slashed diagonally through the flesh of the horned devil. His blood vaporized into crimson gas as he fell down the pit. His torso split in half as he tumbled into the abyss. Obi-Wam ran over to his master.
"It, it's too late." Qui-Gom whispered.
"No," Obi-Wam disagreed as he held his master's dying body.
"Promise me you'll train the boy." Qui-Gom said as he slipped into death.
Qui-Gon awoke in a cold sweat. He shook his mane of hair as he got up to bring them out of hyperspace. He silently thanked the warning alarm for bringing him out of his nightmare.
"Sleep well?" Luminara asked Qui-Gon as he got a bottle of water.
"It was to die for." Qui-Gon responded, inwardly moaning at his corny pun. He brought the ship to the landing point, he was still sweating.
Hiya, hope u like it. Only one more chapter before I take a break and I'll begin again in maybe a month. I'll still post War Stories, since they are one-posts. Cya.
