Chapter 19

King Nuri led the former captive down the cobblestone street to the scene of the battle. He had no clue what the Jedi Master could do, but if he had his facts straight, the Jedi Master next to him was on the high council and was one of the few in charge of the whole order. Slash, parry was heard, and the Jedi Master that was once behind him, was now ahead of him, far ahead of him with a purple blade on his lightsaber already ignited. The King didn't realize the crowd of people that had assembled behind him and were following him.

Qui-Gon was so engrossed in the battle between him and the Sith Lord. He was so angry at the Sith Lord, for one helping to kidnap his son, and then to control him. Qui-Gon knew at that moment he was dangerously close to the Dark Side. But he didn't care. The Sith needed to be extinguished with. Slash, parry, slash, parry, sizzle?! Qui-Gon looked he got Darth Nero on the arm. Just a little cut though. There was a disturbance in the Force as Darth Nero lost his grip on his son for a brief second. There was a moment of silence, and the fight resumed. Qui-Gon had weakened the Sith Lord and he started to falter. He was about to lay the final death blow, and [b] "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!"[/b] The cry froze the Jedi Master in place, so much that he didn't see the ruby, double-bladed lightsaber coming down towards him.

Mace Windu saw what was about to happen, he used Force enhanced speed and hoping he could reach Qui-Gon in time.
