The trip back to Earth was uneventful; Diaz had shut himself in his cabin, and left Jaden to wander around the ship. The ship was a class 2 shuttle, a small ship, not usually used to transport people, but it was one of the faster ships, the Zeveron was a modified ship, it was used mostly to smuggle people from earth to mars and back again. Travel to and from Mars was highly controlled, even the Jedi had trouble, as without official standing from the governments of earth the Jedi could only move around in the shadows, the same as they always had, the problem was that it also meant that their job was much harder. But that didn't mind Jaden, he was only concerned with proving himself to the Jedi Order, he had been one of the first Jedi to be chosen from the children's class, it was an experimental program designed to see what a Jedi would be like if he/she had been chosen near birth to become a Jedi, it was difficult, but a handful had been found, and he was one of them, he had been Welsh, but when you become part of the Jedi ties like that were cut, he was a Jedi, nothing more. Jaden was a tall man for his age, he was only 16, but he was skilled beyond his years according to some of the Knights, it seemed that he had a natural talent to learn ways of the force, and skills with a lightsaber, skills which would take the knights weeks to learn he could learn in a matter of days. But it still frustrated him, if he was learning that fast, then why did the council want to put him with Diaz. Diaz was the Senior Jedi on lightsabers, it was said among the Jedi that if a Jedi attempted to stand toe to toe against Diaz with a Lightsaber no one could win. It was because of this Jaden hadn't fought against becoming his apprentice, the problem was that he believed that he would be promoted to the rank of Padawan, but he was still an apprentice. As Jaden walked the thin corridors which lined the ship he looked out of a view port at the stars, he closed his eyes and allowed the Force of take him, he saw everything, each star seemed to glow with the force, he could feel the tiny vibrations in the hull of the ship as it travelled at hyper speed. Travelling through space without a hyper drive was considered crazy, as it would take months to reach Mars, now it only took hours. Jaden opened his eyes and continued to wander, he wasn't allowed into the cabin, his Master Diaz had felt that the news about the disk, the news about the informant's death and the bounty hunters was too important to wait a few hours. Jaden was still frustrated at the fact that he had been sent on a routine mission to Mars, it was pathetic, he was of the skill where he should have been sent to Uropa. Sadly it seemed that only knights and Masters where allowed on Uropa, or the world beyond, but that is only rumours and hearsay.

Jaden was rocked by the sudden movement of the ship under his feet, he managed to steady himself to see Diaz walking through the corridors of the ship, he was just walking, when the ship bucked he seemed to anticipate it a moment earlier and adjust himself accordingly, he wasn't even slowing, he neared Jaden and said, "We are getting ready to land, we seem to have hit a large storm over the pacific, we will arrive at the drop off point in a few minutes, get ready." Diaz continued to walk on, he neared the ramp and waited for Jaden, he approached the door and suddenly felt a rush of air behind him, he fell over but was caught in mid fall by Diaz, Jaden turned his head to see a massive hole in the side of the ship. "What in the hell?" Jaden said with disbelief, Diaz helped Jaden to his feet and quickly moved to the hole and pocked his head out of it, the wind was incredible. Diaz had to use the force to keep himself from being pulled out of the ship, the ship was travelling almost straight at the ground, the emergency system had kicked in, if damaged return to ground level to avoid passenger suffocation.

As Diaz looked around he saw the faint blip of an ion drive, it was another ship, smaller, looked like a star fighter, which had been modified to fly in atmosphere. It must have waited for them to reach the storm and then shot at them when the ships defences wouldn't work. Diaz looked to the ground, even though the ship had now levelled out it would still take to long for the ship to land safely, they would have to jump, and at this speed, over the terrain which they were now, which was forest it would be dangerous, perhaps deadly even to a Jedi, perhaps a Master could survive it, but an Apprentice, no a Padawan, that was one thing that he had spoken to the council about, he wanted Jaden to be promoted, he had battled the bounty hunters like a Jedi, and he was proud of him for that, he just hoped that he got the chance to tell him that. "Were going to have to jump Jaden. If that ship gets another shot at this hole it could shear the superstructure of the ship apart. He need to get out of here now."

"But Master," Jaden walked to the edge, "The impact to hitting the ground at this speed will surly kill us, and impacting one of those trees will kill us for sure."

"Yes, but use your Lightsaber, strike at the trees, cut your way through, use the force to knock the trees away and then use the force of cushion your impact. Here is a transmitter it will only transmit to mine, and vies versa. When we hit the ground start looking for each other, once we find each other we will head to the temple. We'll jump on the count of 3, 1…2…3!" And on that they both jumped, it wasn't a moment too soon as the ship launched another missile which impacted the ship just below the hole, the blast wave and the heat was enough to light the trees below, just as Diaz and Jaden landed in the middle of them.

Hope that you enjoyed this chapter, will try and update as soon a possible, it will soon explain why they are being attacked so much, and the story will soon become much more complicated and will hold action which has not been seen before on Fan Fiction, so keep reading and please review.
