Chapter 11
When the tidal wave onto shore, Qui-Gon's world came crashing down again. His heart jumped into his mouth. He felt something in the Force. It was some royal guards. It was so hard to see anything in the fierce storm.
"Your highness!" one of them yelled.
Qui-Gon chose to ignore the guard. He took off his outer robe, and dove into the fierce water after his little boy.

Adi Gallia had a plan. They would go into the jail pretending to be officers from Coruscant. The Force was guiding her, she was sure of that. But Master Yoda had other ideas. He told her that that is not the way to do it. They should let fate destiny take its course. Sure, the Mayimese people had wrongly imprisoned a Jedi Master and hadn't given him a fair trial, but still this was there planet, and the planet of one of the orders best. Master Yoda looked around the apartment that they had rented. It was raining outside, and it was leaking into the apartment. He had lost Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the Force a longs ways back. He only hoped that they were alright.

Carlton smiled evilly at the sight of his brother jumping into the water after his nephew. He surprised that the great Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn didn't sense his presence. It was a trick of fate in his direction that the tidal wave happened. Instead of outright destroying his brother and his son, he could just control the water to drown them. He reached out with the Force and sensed both of them. He began to manipulate the water.

Qui-Gon swam frantically in the water. He was so close now, he couldn't lose him. Where in the water was his little boy? His little boy wasn't gone forever, lost to the water that made the planet so beautiful. Now that would just be cruel. He refused to even think that. He lifted his head against the heavy rain, winds, and waves. He thought he saw an arm a few feet to his left. He swam over to it. Jackpot! His son! He grabbed on to him for all he was worth and started to swim to shore. He was almost there, when a wave bigger than the one that had swept the boy in, laid its heavy grasp on the two of them, pulling both of them in.
